"We all hit the water with only Bretts boat and a camera/rescue boat. I remained dry while Oliver and Brett sailed around. It was only about 8 knots of breeze on this day and it was up and going really well on the reaches. Brett sailed convincingly past an A class cat on reach doing close to 20 knots. Back on the beach the A class sailor did not seem very happy about it!"

A quick change and back on the hydrofoils.

This clearly shows the two wings on the centreboard and the one on the rudder that caused all that lift in the photo up top. A change over to the hydrofoils can be easily be completed on the water, with the assistance of a rubber duck.
