Those are very cool. Back in the dark ages when I was in the service, the navy had a patrol boat with a 5" deck gun on it that would get up on foils and do 80 knots, which would pass our old tub like it was standing still

I'm right by it and watching. Living on the bay is good for a few things. Especially for a sail boat junkie like myself. New Zealand is spankin ass! And the bay is insane water to sail on. It is said, "If you can sail the bay. You can sail anything anywhere." My little 27' did ok on mild days, but not so great on the rough days. Or maybe it was me? I freakin love sailing!

Totally off topic, but what does "Kiwi" mean? Or maybe a better to ask, why are y'all called "kiwi?"
