Amazing the technological advances that have been made in sailing. I'd like to someday experience sailing on a boat with a hydrofoil. I use to think clipping along at a little over 20 knots on a sailboard was a thrill, but a boat going 45+ knots on a hydrofoil would be an adrenaline junkies' wet dream.

We've got a fleet of those foiling moths at the club where I keep my boat. Spectacular when they get it right, even more so when they get it wrong...!!

They are bloomin' expensive, around £30k!

Evening more exhilarating (so I'm told, I'm way too cool to want to try,), are these... 

Quite scarey when you're plodding along at 6 knots, and several of these fly past you almost out of control at 30...

Ah, a Grand Banks, I believe.

I was offered a 32' Grand Banks about 15 years ago, for an absolute bargain price, the owner was desperate to offload her. A mate and myself went to have a look... it was only a brief look... to say she was slightly soggy around the transom would be an understatement....

See a lot of these out in San Francisco Bay when the conditions are good...
