For a closer look.

I've been sitting on this for months and finally got the "go" word to go public with it. The designers wanted to be sure that it was up to specs before going public. If it was not than they wouldn't launch at all.

I saw two video's of it as well and it does indeed turn quickly through a tack. From comments and in video it looks like a really well thought out design. I feared it would spray at speed but it didn't; at least not that I cold tell. A pitty they had no tripod with them when they made the vid's; but they mentioned they were going to bring one next time.

The design will (also ?) be produced in Europe and the builder plans to have two demo boats ready at the beginning of the season (april, may 2004 ?)

And whole lot of other stuff that I may not tell. Man, this is exiting. Would like to see a face off between an F18 and this baby in 2004. When both are in capable hands then this may well proof to be a very exiting match.
