from what i understand, the boat was averaging 64 knots (!) before it turtled. to qualify for record status, you have to complete the entire 500 meter course, which they were unable to do. i might be wrong about all of this, however; it is possible my information is old and invalid. does anyone know what the hydroptere team has accomplished of late?
trimaran and hydrofoil technology are really pushing the envelope of what is possible. i love these big boats! check out the hydroptere also; i believe that boat will hold the outright speed record soon, if it does not already.
