Windrider RAVE Hydrofoil Fast Sailing

Uploaded by Huckaby on Sep 6, 2006
This is a video of myself and my friend Harry sailing in Sebago Lake, Maine. Filmed by myself while trying not to crash - it displays the incredible capabilities of this fine hydrofoiling sailboat and shows you the essence of what a Rave sailboat is all about.
Enjoy

No remote control here. Like i said, you SHOULD be able to out run mew, but so far the guy still hasn't. .

Cant wait to use my own one of these, needs to get warmer first though lol

Enographer you aren't going to be beating your chest in a hurry are you considering your sailing a 12' windsurfer with sides on it. Does the remote control take many batteries?

"You'd never beat me broadreaching in any displacement sailboat"
i would hope so. Otherwsise it would mean your sailing was pathetic.
I said it was an MXRay . I was planing, not displacement sailing.
I also said I shouldn't have been able to outrun him.
But go ahead and thump your chest, if it makes you feel like a big man.

Well that sounds nice! Then you are upside down, held firmly in your seat.

It's exhilarating feeling harnessing the power of the wind! Great video. I saw this video in church during a sermon on the Holy Spirit. The Spirit in Greek is pneuma, meaning wind or breath of God. In your faith, you can either ROW HARD (work in your own strength) or SAIL ON THE WIND OF THE SPIRIT (trusting in the Lord for everything you need). Great video!

The RAVE looks like a lot of fun. It is nice to see a high performance wind-powered machine.
Great video, but the music track is dreadful.

Not many - my understanding is under 100.

Guy brought one to our lake several times last yr. I sail MXRay, and some thinkits too tedious to rig, but it always took him over an hour. Broadreaching, outran him sevrl times,. I shouldn't have been able to even keep up, , but he constantly had problems with one area or another not planing up properly.
I concluded you need a lot of experience with planing (he didn't) to get most out of that boat. Its way differnt than displacement sailing.

You'd never beat me broadreaching in any displacement sailboat. :) Sure - like any boat, they need some experience to handle properly. Once you do.....

Have these boats been raced yet in its own class? Any PY rating? The Foiler Moths are also hydrofoils though just a monohull and these are being raced already.

Not enough of them around to race classes - at least not enough here in my part of the USA. Would be interesting since foiling vs non-foiling speeds are drastically different.
