SailRocket boat crash at record speed

[PoxsRS]

240p? nope Chuck testa

[amackayj]

Tore a new arsehole in something mate

[braccobalbo]

that's why racing cars use flaps ^^

[tomsonrk]

my first thought: OUCH

[ginopunsalan]

I guess he knew something was wrong when he felt crap in his pants.

[antilles27]

2:10

"When did you first realize something was going wrong Paul?"

"When I was upside down in the middle of the air"

[shaguarJNR]

it would be awesome if he landed it :P

[homskoult]

I think you should practice the basics before you start doing tricks, although that was a sight to see. Glad you weren't injured

[blackphonetic1]

You need a Transformers moment.

[CusterFlux]

Look, we all love Super Dave ... but stop letting him pilot your boat!

( keep at it guys - you'll get there ;)

[Darksmith430]

Omg i Think I Saw A Boat Fly Over me AWSOME!

[ti41magh41]

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!

[ti41magh41]

This has inspired me. I'm now in the process of using a steering device for my kayak with my legs(using the hydrofoil design of course) and using my 5 meter kite as the propulsion. When i get it figured out i will post it.

@ti41magh41 will be difficult to generate sufficient righting moment while sitting in a kayak. That is more wing than one person is going to be able to control with stading and leveraging their weight. Imagine kiteboarding on a kneeboard ...

[ti41magh41]

I wonder if this concept be merged with the moth design for keeping it in the water and without the resistance to the variable difference of the surface. Also less resistance to the surface which means more stability for the craft. Then again i could be a moron to this added design. Wouldn't a hydrofoil pin the sail to the surface creating more speed?

[IAccidentallyCameron]

@ti41magh41 I think negative lift hydrofoils (ones that hold the boat to the water) produce far more drag than they are worth, you want to minimise wetted area and hydrodynamic forces and by having some areas lift and some areas pull down you are just increasing the drag.

This type of design seems near-perfect for speed really, makes best use of the weight and seems low drag, at those speeds hydrofoils wouldn't react in time.

epic fail

[strosse]

that boat DID fly!!!

[TheSeve99]

0:59 Fail Frontflip

[badback22]

Wow that looks like fun if ya dont flip. Doesnt look like too much damage in slow mo. Try again! Thx for post.

[saviorslegacy]

with a little tweaking that boat would make a nice glider.......

[ThomasFMPayne]

Awesome! Great stuff..... Adrenaline Ranting! LOL....

[Themostflippinawesom]

fail

[oceangatesailingteam]

Thats insane, the boat flies like that by just a chute type sail.

[scaredbasejumper]

@oceangatesailingteam its a wing sail not chute

[Rakaloe]

Quick! do a barrel roll!

[triduza]

lucky guy, such speed means that water = concrete

[AnthonyPDR]

DUDE IF YOU PUT WINGS AND SAILS ON THAT BITCH YOU COULD BE AIRBORN ON A WINDY DAY, now that would be the sickest sail boat ever roflmao

[TomasLonGo]

BACKFLIP!!! ups

[ravenx501]

put some wings on that thing

[MalteSer001]

... status report ... where did my skipper fly off to ?

[Kallenator1988]

The boat is like: GTG!

[lordkesil]

Is this what they mean with having floats on an airplane?

[herregud2]

They are cheating the record is for water wheelies not air wheelies :P

[wildblue2]

nice backloop attempt, just look backwards, and you'll stick it next time. Doesn't a sail with that kind of aspect ratio need some twist?

[ShuffleHSD]

@wildblue2 do u even no what ur talkin bout

[hottieharley89]

damn 52.8 knots that is fn fast

[xexorz]

small bow plains w/ high speed servo motors rigged up to either a gyro or tilt detector or some other pitch detection mechanism can be used to actively "fly" the front end of the boat like a hydroplane... I'm just sayin.

[lotanerve]

52.08 knots...no knots

[roastoo00ooveges]

Stick forward! stick forward! Ha ha, bet ya shit in ya wetsuit when you saw the sky buddy. Only a kiwi or assie would have the balls to pilot such a mental craft.

[Samsterrz]

Most people see a "fucking crazy" crash. But the more intelligent of you would see an aeronautical breakthrough.

[x1tekja]

No keel to keep it in the water at high speeds = recipe for disaster pie.

[brokenbrush]

cool but if it keeps crashing is it still a boat?

[penetrattor]

INSANE!! WooW!!!

[GrandmasMan]

waaaaaah!!!!

[jhultquist000]

that was so FUCKING crazy.

[dcalimited]

WOW!!!!

[boatin4nothin]

AWESOME!

[mxsailor]

that baot can fly!

[superzkid]

that boat DOES fly!!

[timgoes]

There was too much flying and too shy of sailing on that run. Very good sports about the damage.
