Reported speeds are also pretty high for a #mini6.50 although there seems to be quite a bit more wind than in hull n° 1067's video.

It will be interesting to see how the two approcahes (fully-foiling vs semi-foiling) compare on the #minitransat and on the other races of the 2023 season.

Christmas seems to be the #foiling #mini6.50 season!

A new video just dropped of an old prototype (hull n° 945), modified with C-Foils.

Judging by the released footage, the concept is not so much about lifting the hull completely out of the water, than "lightening" it slightly and increasing the power and righting moment.
