great video, the drone sgots allowed for a very immersive experience, so jealous! :D the only thing that threw me off since i can’t feel whatthe boat does. What is making those really annoying sound? Electro hydraulics? I i ever get a flying boat I hope it will be closer to silent thanks again

First of all you looked great with the new trim look. Secondly as I have followed your journey it was exciting for me to see you get this opportunity & insight. Amazing is easily said. But your feedback was just that. There are so many aspects about all off this that are building a new World off sailing. Winning will push this further & faster. The World is our Oyster. You are on a high & I am buzzing. Nothing beats racing. Bring it on. Well done. Return too base.
