  • Thats a Hobie Trifoiler, I have had the chance to sail one, they are ridick! The speed they do (25knots) With out the chance of a capsize is so weird! When you're doing 25knots and knowing you cant capsize feels kind of wrong...

  • @South208 what is ? :L

  • If anyone's interested in the mechanics, check out watch?v=zXSgZCDVWOM from Hobie (the manufacturer)

  • @shifttradition HobieCat hydrofoil

  • thats so awesome i want one! how did he make that

  • omg that is discusting

  • Fair enough, Very cool anyways!

  • @melikeice Ah, that makes much more sense. By foils I thought you were referring to the two sails.

  • @mooseoftoose This boat has hydrofoils at the bottom of the daggerboards on each hull as well as the rudder. The skis adjust the angles of these foils. When the boat is low in the water the skis are up causing the foils to angle up and lift the boat out of the water. When the boat is at the idea hight the skis level the foils so that the boat is even in the water and as the boat pitches the foils adjust to keep it level in the water. The same principle is used in the Moths.

  • @melikeice That doesnt really make any sense. The skipper adjusts the angle of the foils...thats the main concept of sailing. Im talking about the little skiis on the tip of each hull.
