1. 51.36 kts for the 500meter run. Fantastic. Well done.
   And a top speed of 55.5kts. Truly amazing.

2. Sweet.

3. I'd kill for that boat… blows my catamaran right out of the sea!

4. @guitarific There are probably some weight issues. The wing that the oracle guys used weighed more than 7500 lbs. The additional trim control might be worth it though…

5. Why am I oddly jealous of that guy spinning that crank?

6. 0:45 he's actually powering the boat.

7. I want to see a video of it tacking now… 🙂 tres bien fait, mes amis marins francais!

8. at 0:54 it looks like it was flying lol
