Speed sailing with the Firebird Orion at 20 Knots with the mast raked forward and then back. Great footage of Al Wood and Harvey Bowden flying a hull.

  • That is freaking cool....

  • Nice boat, nice video, one of my favorites, just good clean fun!

    

  • hi there, is this the firebird in ocean village southampton? If so and they need crew any time then i would love to have a go. i'm an experienced sailor so just contact me if there is any more information. Based in ocean village. thanks

  • where can I get firebird orion

  • Nice ideas, too short, too little aerodynamic considerations

    need rigid wing(s) and better structural geometries

    also note pontoon planing lift, should try to keep hydrodynamic loading neutral

    See BOR90

  • well harvey! when chris and i built orion we spent many hours saving every gramme possible , building a boat well capable of 25+ knots! so whats going wrong? lol should have built that 100% carbon one , lol

  • Fabulous video, and a beautiful boat.

  • what an awesome boat ! looks sooo much fun

  • Shows effect of mast rake on boat trim well. Some great bits.
