why not just race airplanes fly 10' over the water. Give me 6-8-12 metre boats any day. Those flying boats are like NASCAR, we are just waiting for a crash. The best thing about the America Cup flying boats is betting on the races , they are so quick . To each his own I guess.

Excellent video Tobey. I couldn't agree more with your finale assessment of why it was built. We have to build better and faster. Right? I also like the vagabond look.
As usual. I hope to see more from you. Cheers.

Amazing engineering, really cool, and I would love to see one of these in real life.

Another fun thougth: besides the noise from the engine, the boat doesn't appear to make effective use of resources (diesel). It made me wonder – if the same 110 HP engine wer to drive a foiling motor boat, could a crew of 8 travel faster from A to B than on the flying Nikka? Likely, but of course, less style.

I shudder to think of the hazard of pitchpoling this boat in high seas.

Very impressive design and cost structure, the build looks muscular like a bodybuilder.

Wow the interior is so clean of clutter with all the hoses so nicely managed.

Yeah, nice, but you really need bette forward looking sonars. At these speeds you bump a hering and need to a tow home.

I'm going to try to win the "silliest comment award", here goes: it's amazing how this boat foils, and at this point, seeing the hull completely above the water, you wonder why the designer fitted a folding prop to this thing? I mean he could have saved a few hundred euros as a fixed prop would to the exact same thing for half the cost and no disadvantages!
