These are cool, foiler moths...

A toy.... yet holds the speed record.... making it the fastest sailboat...

It would suck to loose the speed record to a toy.... maybe we should call it a real boat.

Thank you for that.

Actually I was just referring to the size comparison, not the science and engineering that each of these marvels displays....I would like to see the expression on the face of Columbus as one of these whipped by....what would they think ?

'...I would like to see the expression on the face of Columbus as one of these whipped by....'

Maybe that actually happened!

These boats aren't going fast enough to travel back in time....right?

_{....for the slow of thought, no I don't really consider the aforementioned a possibility.... but those people who possess such loose standards of proof must be viewing a very interesting review of a personalized surrealistic screen play from the perspective behind their eyes.}

No doubt this was a Viking burial at sea.....

When I was a teenager I crewed in a couple regattas, and I had a really fast 15ft planing mono hull that was such a blast.

Nothing like the speeds of these boats.

Those hydrofoil moths look like a lot of fun.

I miss sailing. I'm going to look for a way to bring that back into my life.

You can't beat these Hobie Cats for ease of ownership and use....
