09/12/2016: "Much less than a multihull"


gavinf2 (145k image) I realise this blog is on my multihull books site but with the advent of foiling and the incredible footage and speeds achieved by the big time foilers I had to give it ago - mayhap with only one hull and one foil. It is, simply put, sensational. The speed, the lack of sound, that smooth slicing over the waves, has to be experienced to be appreciated. To get the the level of smooth, wakeless gliding it has taken about 15 hours of crashing and bashing. Fortunately no injures but tired muscles and salt reddened eyes.
