The Trampofoil guys got some free TV time at the time. They tried to go commercial but this simply too niche. In later years one of them has been involved in a foiling motorboat project with better economical backing. That project may take off (pun intended). https://candelaspeedboat.com/ /Martin erice 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

erice 325 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 looks like more practice races monday, tuesday...but not much information on when and where yet A compromise has clearly been reached and the Herald understands all four teams will have practice races on Monday and Tuesday before the challengers' boats are officially measured on Wednesday ahead of the Prada Cup opening round robin starting on Friday.

kiwi_jon 15 Posted Monday at 05:22 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:22 AM Watched ETNZ capsize. Fell of foils during a gybe, nose dived then slow capsize. They were towed upright fairly quickly, dropped the main and jib and were towed home. If anyone is interested in watching tomorrow Mellon's Bay is the place to go. erice and harrytom 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
