This is Polynesian style vakaute

👍 Dommage que vous n'ayez pas indiqué la vitesse moyenne ainsi que les pointes ...😢

what is the fastest speed achieved? normal cruising speed??

Wow! What are those things called on the front? That keep the water piercing bows out of the water? Some type of forward elevator/canard.

Can this thing handle the large swell of the open ocean

You had me at Kite-Boat !!

to bad the music suck

The canoe "wheellie turn" was freaking epic!

I'm calling Kevin Costner, we need a waterworld 2!!!

Kite-Segel und foiling - das geilste, was es gibt !!!

What speed?

The turntable is brilliant!

Bad ass!

Anybody know what the moving "bouncers" hanging down from each bow purpose?

Interesting boat design, impressive performance, beautiful photography and inexplicably irritating use of 'music' to destroy what would be a very cool video. At least we have the mute button.

I'm curious how close to the true wind direction it can beat.

I would love to see more information on how the kite is first launched and landed etc.

СУПЕР СКОРОСТЬ

I allways remember you from the kitesurfing design . 16 years from now. Wow !. Send you my best regards. Pablo

Not a record, but sailing history. Bravo to all!

Фантастика!

FANTASTIC !!!

Если бы сейчас снимали фильм водный мир то эта яхта там точно была.

I love these boats

So fun fact another company I think is going to put a kite on a container vessel! How funny that we see one in this video

why waste the money on a helicopter when you can use a drone?

Thanks for sharing that great story of design and innovation, congratulations. What fun and hard work that must have been. Honking along on foils powered by a huge kite, you beauty...

WOW one week would mean they sailed a little over 300 miles per day..THAT'S AWESOME..A 36 foot Catalina usually will take 18-19 days (average 120 miles a day)..

I have this in mind

Wonderful love you guys

whatever happened to this innovative company?

How long was the sail ( time wise) from S.F. to Hawaii?

Can you upwind any angle?

Unlimited foiling....

That is my favorite sail boat.

I found this video 4 years ago (according to my previous comment) and here we are, a total of 7 years later, and I still love it. But where has the concept gone? It seems that a bit bigger but lighter boat $$$$$😖 with computer control of ride height $$$$$$😖 and foil design that prevents a much bigger kite $$$$$😖from yanking it out of the water, would make possible absolutely stoopid speed! C’MON FAT WALLETS, BUILD IT !!!👊😎

Yea but can ya get air ....lol

Brilliant design..

how they can return

Could there just be ONE video without that idiotic music? Just one?

Cool soundtrack, what is this music?

Piloting one of these (or is it just "this") craft has have the coolest vibe, since you're doing something no one else in the world is doing.

Soon they will be no more sails, Instead, kite sailing will be more efficient faster, and less heeling. The German Skysail already have it fully automatic controlled by a computer on cargo ships since 2009. It's so expensive though.

Seems to be a copycat from the Hobie trifoiler from the early eighties? Though had the trifoiler paralell twin sails which probably is easier to handle.

Interesting but alittle impractical for the real world.

Like a coupe’

Too bad no information about angles, tacking, speeds, windspeed capability etc instead of just music.

I think don worked for windance in the eightys

date matches length of video

Was this boat designed from the onset to be kite-powered or retrofitted?
