Hydrofoil Avrocar’s Cousin: The HMCS Bras d’Or
The HMCS Bras d'Or was an experimental Canadian hydrofoil built in the 1960s. 
It was one of the fastest warships of its time, reaching 63 knots—but was retired before entering service.

I'm usually here for the #amatuerRadio content, but I think Legos aren't too far from our hobby. This is my first #lego set in 30yrs, a fact which might have blown my 10yr old son's brain. This is the winning boat from the 37th #AmericasCupSailing which is the #AC75 class of #hydrofoil flying sailboats #EmiratesNewZealand

"In the last two months four dolphins have been found with their dorsal fins either injured or completely severed.I'm not saying what object it was, but it's a definitely a watercraft or a propeller that's severed the dorsal fin."

This craft looks amazing and could be very useful in the Netherlands or other countries with a lot of waterways. Electric, fast etc.

Pedal powered hydrofoils would definitely be for cool 
sport one day :-) (But hydrofoil windsurfing surprised me too. I am probably getting old....)
Hmm, vůbec jsem nevěděl, že olympijský windsurfing už přešel na windfoiling, tedy na prkna s hydrofoilem. Na českých přehradách asi málo fouká - zatím jsem to u nás vůbec neviděl...
Docela mi překvapuje, jak konzervativní je proti tomu cyklistika, že pořád neakceptuje lehokola... nebo že koloběžky nejsou olympijský sport...
Vessev launches electric hydrofoil ferry that “flies above the waves”
#Maritime transport firm #Vessev has developed a fully #electric boat that uses hydrofoil technology to reduce energy consumption by up to 90 per cent.
The nine-metre-long VS-9 is designed to transport up to 10 passengers at 25 knots, with retractable hydrofoils that lift the hull out of the water when travelling at speed.

Winging nebo wingfoiling vypadá jako hodně zajímavý sport: spojení surfového prkna a hydrofoilu vypadá lákavě. Já se neudržím ani na normálním surfu, s výjimkou paddleboardu, takže what could possibly go wrong... když to ještě necháme balancovat na podvodním křídle ;-) A pokud se novému sportu navíc věnujou šikovné holky v plavkách...

K embednutí jsem pokusně použil podvratný Archosův Invidious, protože nemám rád videa, která nejde přehrát přímo v timeline Mastodonu, nebo která dokonce po čase úplně zmizí.
