Hydropetere Trials by Christophe Launay

CSN:This way of flying is not going to be seen at the ACup, although we will see some interesting things. Latest images from Oracle’s Ac45 are nice but LFoils lacks a reliable ‘flight’ to my knowledge and after talking with some top notch specialist(2) , also you can look at those images and only one of them seems quite balanced, the others are not stable flying, And they even ‘photoshoped’ some parts as I posted at SA forums, more on that later.

The trimaran has now arrived by container ship in Los Angeles where she will be based whilst waiting for a weather for an attempt on the Pacific crossing record between Los Angeles and Honolulu this summer.”
