I’m not refering to the new MAIN wing sail you both realise right?. I’m refering to the one surrounding the steering wheel column( laying horizontally) that looks like a very early plane wing at the rear of the boat
ehhh no.
actually it works just like a normal sail ( a sail is just a fabric wing) Its just that its more efficient cos it doesnt stretch and deform under high loads and can be trimmed more accurately
so i take it this ‘wing sail’ actually just provides lift to get the hulls more out of the water to reduce drag?
I’d like to see some vid from a standing-still perspective, i.e., camera boat parked, DogZilla zooming past. Its hard to get a decent perception of how fast the boat is moving when shot from a moving camera position … its just so huge.
too bad it broke today…
Wow. Shows what you can do if you really want it and have limitless hot and cold running cash. Love the subtler soundtrack too. Hope for more of the same every day. And hope it doesn’t break before February!
Sweet. Absolutely sweet.
bad day´s for north sails
)))))))
Just awesome! Keep up the good work!
