Great content. Slow-mo scenes are so long, Lots a really great shots. Too much slow-mo. I really enjoyed the fast parts when I skipped to them. Thanks for the video!
Sorry I got the times wrong below, should read :-Notice at 3:09 and 3:27 one can see the foil cavitating which launches the whole sudden dive. and again at 4:36.Interesting""
From what I know he came Up to a wave causing the wand at the front of the boat to raid the ride hight of the main for and because the increase the boat begin to raid over the wave causing the main foil to leave the water giving the boat no stability and no lift so as soon as it 're entered the water it nose dived as no lift was being generated
Anyone ever seriously hurt themselves on those pointy spreaders? The first lad wrenches his head and neck away from them at the last second, leaving him with only that little nick. I know there's inherent risk to everything, but maybe a head-height prong pointed at the sailor isn't the best possible design approach on a boat prone to catapulting the sailor forward.
the designers forgot to add a periscope and snorkel :-).....they'll no doubt eventually add a computer to it and the thing will fly itself and you just hang the f on....
@@ChadCarney-hu3du they most certainly do not ignore waves and swell. Most of the nosedives here are due to waves. The scenario is this: bow arrives over waves, magic wand makes contact and begins to push in. Main foil elevator angles upwards to generate lift. Bow clears wave and magic wand attempts to the lower the boat. Unfortunately the boat is going so fast that the altitude cannot decrease fast enough. Foil breaches and sailor gains a bruise or 3. The solution is usually to tune the wand for lower ride height. This gives you more altitude to play with but you risk hitting the swell/tripping a wing. Waves are generally considered anathema for foilers. Qualifications: I windfoil regularly in coastal water and converse with world class moth sailors and designers.
