Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hahah - I was in Tauranga all day, got back and couldn't understand why the stats for Crew were going through the roof - Thanks Bill. Link to post Share on other sites
203 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 They probably have a whole bunch of photos from the day, Photos of it foiling etc(if they actually do) But will only post the ones of it not foiling because they dont want to give too much away... Link to post Share on other sites
Tim C 23 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Foiling photos are ligit. I talked to the man who took them, who is on both my and Vorpal Blade's Facebook. There is a whole series. Amazing. Roll on some really exciting sailing boat design and racing over the next year... Link to post Share on other sites

olli 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think the wave behind the board is spray from the hole of the daggerboard, because it's just lifted... Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 375 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Found this on the net. Its the real deal (I checked) Looks real to me. I've seen a lot of AC cats sailing this way... Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 That photo is real. My opinion, That's f***en exciting, go the ETNZ. Can't wait to see these machines in action. Link to post Share on other sites
shanson 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Dunno if this has been asked, but is anyone offering trips out on the harbour to follow ETNZ? I'd be keen to go out and watch and happy to pay my way! SHANE Link to post Share on other sites
Matty 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 ETNZ facebook page now has a video of yesterday, at 1:07 you can see the bothe the leward bow and stern lifting out of the water. looks awesome! Link to post Share on other sites
Variant 2 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 ETNZ facebook page now has a video of yesterday, at 1:07 you can see the bothe the leward bow and stern lifting out of the water. looks awesome! It is impressive given they are not allowed controllable wings on the rudders. Link to post Share on other sites
Richard2249 5 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Great photo Variant, I imagine they're travelling pretty quick there with the leeward hull barely touching the water. It's going to be a shame I think that these boats will be restricted to such a small course in SF harbour. Link to post Share on other sites
