    Corley epoxy coated

    Wow! It is surely only a matter of time till this boat rewrites the round the world record for the Jules Verne Trophy. Makes you wonder how much faster Hydroptere maxi will be when you see how fast these foil assist trimarans are under a range of conditions, exciting times.

    Full circle

    Yep, someday they'll discover how to do "right" and it will be very exciting?

    Can't wait for the next America's cup, which will be a winged version.....


    Ok, don't like "smart foils"....

    is a better version of "dumb foils"! it will stop that happening to your boat Korea.

    I just wish I could keep my money at bank popular... the french banks are doing cool stuff with their money... the american banks.... well.... they seem to have other priorities.

    I couldn't believe my eyes last Sat morning.
    I looked out of the window to watch the regular Saturday Multihull race and there was Bank Populaire zipping up Pittwater.
    Wow! She just dwarfed all the other boats.
    What a sight.! You just don't realize what big boats these ORMA 60s are until you see one in real life. :eek:
