that looks amazing-and like a lot of fun.
out of curiosity, could it be paddled like a kayak, i case the wind dies out or something?

@apt95 Well, you could. But I don't really see the point. It would be like pushing a Ferrari home, when you run out of gas... And you can put a little engine on the back, although I don't really like to do that, because of the extra weight.

How do these things behave in waves?
MrMolbach 1 year ago
Up to half a meter is no problem. Higher waves requires some experience. When waves are long, there is no problem as well as the Rave will just follow them up and down. Only short chop over 1 meters will be difficult as the foils may come out of the water when leaving a wave and then the lift is gobe, resulting in the boat falling back into the water.

you are right, it is called flying! And once you felt the thrill of it, you never want anything else again!!!

That thing must be a pig to tack...
insanitysailor 3 years ago
The outriggers have not much volume, most resistance has the mainhull where also the rudder is located. When not flying it tacks easier than a catamaran. When flying, you should gybe. Going 1.5x the windspeed and turning into the wind the pressure of the wind will be 2.5x in total. When gybing the combined the stress is only 0.5 times the windspeed in total. Compare it to fast windsurfers where gybing can be done with just two fingers holding the sail. Difficult to grasp for slow sailors ;-)
