With the blink of an eye, two months sailing Te Rehutai in Auckland has gone in a flash.
It may not seem like much- but the testing and development benefits has far exceeded the expectations for the team. But now, it is time for the great migration of Te Rehutai for a long northern summer ahead getting used to the unique characteristics of the waters to Barcelona.

This just appeared in my feed….and now I have a new hobby.
Почему на одном крыле идут?
If you would make this boat twice as long (and width), would it be faster.
Could you replace the crew that is cycling partly with batteries, electric engines and solar?
Shroud in the cockpit 😮, questionable design. Inspect its anchor point. Know a faliur last year where the anchor block falied with a crew member stood next to it. He died instantly.
As impressive as ugly…doesn’t has much to do with sailing and implies a huge co2 emission!
Boring AF to watch tho
афигеть!
Certainly not a boat. It's a sailing apparatus. Interesting technical achievement, and once again humankind has proven itself in the realm of engineering.
50 knots in how much wind though?
Красота, но больше нравится "ручное управление", когда единение с Природой и шелест воды. Техно, роботы, ИИ- мимо, в таком занятии. Поганят прелесть паруса, ветра..
Who designed those awful looking helmets? They are almost worse than cycling helmets 🙃
Beauty in motion. Love this NZ team.
I want in.
this give flying hulls a new meaning..
I rip on my 14' sunfish!
No foils needed – all rippin'!
pretty cool. someone turned big boat sailing into windsurfing. love it.
It's cool and all but not so cool that you need robocop helmets
While these speeds are impressive ice boats, even small 11 footers, routinely go faster, 60 mph or more, and that is with sailors who are by no means super highly specialised.
Imagine if this came sailing onto the course in the 1930's with the J Yachts or 1950's 60's 70's. This design is still hard to believe in the 2020's!
Give them the trophy already!
