Impressive isn't it? I wonder what it would be like in fog or hit a freak wave at those sorts of speed?

reading through the site, one british military ship is rumoured to be able to make it's own fog bank to disguise itself.

Right chaps .. what about an inverse boat? Ie where the tide provides the motive force via aerofoil keel and air provides stability

Wouldn\'t be in the Solent for long, would it?

About 3 minutes according to my calculator, if it was going E-W (or vice versa).

Should pick up the silverware in the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes powerboat race too.
