Would be interesting to repeat this over a range of wind speeds......
And use the full foiling GC32, and the Flying Phantom F18, instead of the Marstrom and N20...
I'm still thinking none of those will beat the foiling kite.
Yeah, let's see how speedy that board is in 4kts of breeze!
There you go!
I pick an A cat for the 4kt race!
I pick a jet ski in 4kt's...
4-kts ? Yea --- my money would be on the M32 !!
I think the minimum wind needed for a foiling kite is around 6-kts ; but
remember that kite can be put on 40-meter lines, to take
advantage of wind that above the wind-gradient.
Anything , and i mean Anything above 6-kts, up to 40-kts
and the kite is gonna Win , (except against the AC-72).
And the kiter is gonna win with about $5-k worth of equipment !
Sailrocket , only goes in One direction .
Bille
I could win with my jet ski with about $1200 in equipment, in just about any wind. Oops, make that $1250. I forgot about my life jacket
And you forgot about gas...how much in gas? ;^)
