  • See what happens when humans look at mother nature and use what she shows us. Birds and the wind...fish and the sea....combined allow these men to fly on the ocean.

  • more than anything it´s an aircraft...

  • Thumbs up for the Aerosail!!!!

    

  • SKYNET !!

  • because if the weren't it would flip over

  • I need some more pics of the boat, and I don't understand why the guys are all over the one wing.

  • The boat is french, but there is also a swiss flag flying in respect for the main sponsor, a swiss banker.

  • wow.... what amazes me thought is that NONE of them are wearing a life jacket or life line..... wouldn't want to go overboard at that speed.....

  • Swiss flag? makes sense, they both speak French and German in Switzerland.

  • Looking at the stern at 3:03 it seems to me that it's flying two flags, see the strip of blue just to starboard of the Swiss flag? My guess is that's the Tricolore.

    In fact, a closer look shows a thin bit of white and red under the Swiss flag too, so definitely the Tricolore.

    I can't say I'm an expert on boats, I do know the stern is the senior position for flags on a boat, but I'm not sure why one would fly two flags from there.

    The boat is French. Maybe registered as Swiss for tax reasons?
