- With an array of heart stopping events race 2 provided plenty of adrenalin fuelled spectator moments. Pavement hit the start boat and Tech2 had a spectacular capsize in the best finish of the series against Euroflex.

Спасибо) Очень интересная гонка) Обожаю этот класс)
That was a great race... I hope to be there again this year.
That was such an intense race!
It was indeed Todd, we are glad that you enjoyed it as much as we did!
@@Superfoiler thanks so much for putting these races on CZcams! These boats are absolutely insane and it's a white-knuckle race from start to finish. I hope the sailing world catches on to this series, as it's truly the extreme sport of sailing.
@@toddstevens6608 thank you for such great feedback! It is always fab to hear that people are enjoying our content. Luckily there is plenty more in our SuperFoiler vaults where this came from! Stay tuned...
I'd say Pavement didn't have the left foil down at the start when they changed tack.
Anyone who can sail one of these boats has the right stuff. The rest of us can only hope, if we wish, that one day, somehow, in some lifetime, we might be there
дайте координаты где проходят эти гонки. я доберусь любой ценой чтобы в живую посмотреть на это)
OH YEAH YEAH
Did the committee boat even have an anchor down? Looks like it was floating down wind at the start. Or is there lots of current from the tide
Hi Sam, yes the committee boat did have an anchor down at the start...
Just gotta' ask....When one of these flips, is there any way they can be righted without the use of special equipment (e.g. cranes)? For example, if all floatation was removed on one side so just that side of the craft sank, could the craft then be aligned by injecting air/floatation into that hull at the right moment, causing the craft to swing back into an upright orientation?
Thank you for your question Gregory. Our machines regularly capsize due to the speed and nature of the hydrofoils. They are usually righted by a rib or tender in a matter of minutes and unless damaged they can continue to race.
Thanks for your reply. I was hoping there was a 'self supporting' method for righting the craft. Some dredging barges flip as a means of dumping their load. They blow the ballast on one side, allowing that side to sink. Then, they re-inflate that side, flipping it 180 degrees. From what I understand, the cargo hold is symmetrical, so the hold facing upright is the same as the one upside down and underwater.
Did Euroflex even have to jibe there at the finish? They could have gone straight, and Tech 2 wouldn't have had to maneuver to avoid a collision.
There these boats commercially available?
superb but wow extreme
Was there racing on the Sunday?
There was indeed Dean!
@@Superfoiler might be a silly question but why hold them from the feed?
@@charliedeanbottwe held them from racing for a while due to questionable safety aspects as a result of the dangerous conditions, is that what you meant?

No rights on start/finish silly commentator
Tech2 won euroflx dnf
Can you guys please add a link on the random rules for this class because its obviously not the same as the rest of the world
Tech2 went back over finish line and euroflx apparently had rights on port tack on a finish line 😅
Hi @@samgeary1916 , yep no problem, we will upload one to our website shortly and create a link for your to have a look at...
what a load of shit..... Starboard has right of way, Euroflex didn't bare away they jibed.. It makes the racing a joke when a port boat can cause a starboard boat to crash jibe and take the win
Room to finish takes priority over port starboard so the port boat was inside and had rights to round the pin. They are allowed to jibe. If it was a simple port starboard, the starboard boat can sail the port off and stop them finishing altogether.
