Hi Don! There is a lot of potenzial in kiteboating!! I do a conversion of a Windrider Rave to a Kitepowered Vehicle. My dream is to steer the boat by pedals and control the kite by one pilot.
@@AngusMcIntyre you can go upwind while kiteboarding - so I see no principal reason why this boat can't. plus, its daggerboard/hydrofoil/whatever can have a much, much bigger lateral surface area than a kiteboard. But fair point, it's perhaps still an abysmal upwind performance when compared to a "normal" foiling trimaran.
Seems to be a copycat from the Hobie trifoiler from the early eighties? Though had the trifoiler paralell twin sails which probably is easier to handle.
no engine noise but screaming across the water. awesome
I'm calling Kevin Costner, we need a waterworld 2!!!

@Siward Beorn are you done with that project? I'd like to see the result!
@Siward Beorn what about the project?
there is some serious boatage in that warehouse
Holy crap. Just take my money!
What happened to this concept boat? Where are new videos? It seems so promising.
Probably doesn't go upwind!

Was this boat designed from the onset to be kite-powered or retrofitted?
There is a video out that monitors the evolution of these kite boats. They have come a long way.

Bring this up to the Columbia and lets ride!
That is AWESOME!
Why they need a mast? Someone??
den braucht man um den Kite zum fliegen zu bringen
Why is there a mast?
I made the same question :)
It makes launching and recovering the kite possible.
@@q.e.d.9112 replace "possible" with "easier".
Just need a Hydro foil kit for a wind rider 17 :)
Wow! Speed!
How big is parasail (in square meters)?
20 m2
Ya but it looks like they're escaping .
Do a kiteloop

This looks fun :)
The future of transport when the oil is finished....
Zanzibar Kofax sounds interesting, can you give me a source on that information?
There are huge confirmed oil fields in Venezuela, i think it's like half the world's known oil.
Yea but can ya get air ....lol
Interesting but alittle impractical for the real world.
Mega.
