Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 On close inspection it is photoshop. You can see where the bow and stern were in the water. They have cut, lifted an pushed the boat foward 1/2 a boat length. Shame. That was cool for about 5min Link to post Share on other sites
chic014 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hmm yea potentially. Vorpal Blade where did this photo come from? Link to post Share on other sites
RushMan 31 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Photoshop? Too hard to tell on the iPad. I am hoping it isn't because that looks sooooo cool! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Photoshop? Too hard to tell on the iPad. I am hoping it isn't because that looks sooooo cool! Look just behind the centerboard. You can see were the bow cut through the water Link to post Share on other sites
chic014 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yea the low quality of the photo also makes me suspicious Link to post Share on other sites
RushMan 31 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 There is a lot of spray from the boards... I thought there might be less. Maybe you are right... I am still hoping you aren't. Link to post Share on other sites
shc 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Royale 780 - That spray could be wash off the foil, look at the houses on the hill, if whoever took this moved it up and forward they are very good at photoshop to keep them looking normal. (They could have taken a second photo...) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I can see what Vorpal Blade is meaning about the bow wake as you can actually see a little wake behind the board which can not be created solely by a foil. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Look 1/2 a boat length past the stern. You can see a lift of spray where the stern was. Also alot of wake for fully foiling. Once you locate where the bow and stern was its easy to see Link to post Share on other sites
RushMan 31 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Sorry Royale, still not convinced (perhaps I am just hoping it is real) If it is photoshop they have done a really good job. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I will be stroked if it is not a fake photo. How cool would that be Show me the video footage Link to post Share on other sites
OYSTR 1 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 As much as I would love to see this, there does appear to be a block of dodgy shadowing (unnaturally straight lines) running just forward and below the hulls. Still hoping though Link to post Share on other sites
RushMan 31 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Looked at it for the 100th time... Changing to fake! Check the shadow of the boat, sun in the west Check out the lack of shadow on the houses in the background, sun in the east Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Found this on the net. Its the real deal (I checked) Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 My money says the photo is legit. Friends of mine saw the SL's foiling months ago. And the SL is the test bed for the 72. Dalton said a long time ago that this cup is firstly about the foils and then getting the wing to depower up top during a bear-away. Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 72 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 A person who is involved with Oracle told me personally that they are trialling lifting foils when he was here in NZ for our late summer. Link to post Share on other sites
