DNA F4 & Spithill: New York to Bermuda
Videos sent by Thijs van Riemsdjik / DNA Performance / dnaperformancesailing.com – DNA F4 New york – Bermuda. Incredible trip, but as Spithill remarks this is no operation for rookies and even a top team can have a hard time due to weather conditions. The F4 remains a fully thoroughbred Racing cat, as we remarked since day 1 with the first version launched some years ago.
Still a great feat being able to reach destination.
In the future foiling cruisers cannot rely only on foil lift, as when waves are going through your cockpit sinking the bow deep, you will need the right hull volume distribution to have a proper ocean cruiser.
