AirflowNZ Travel, Wow mate, the skies the limit with your beautiful Videos. Let's hope the rest of the world loves your Filming as we all do here in New Zealand. We are so lucky to see these beautiful boats skimming over these waters here in our own back yard. Gib

[@airflownztravel]

Gib, yes they are viewed in many countries, thanks, Mike

11:40 spin out 😀

[@airflownztravel]

Thomas, you are on to it! The first to notice it! Mike

[@glennmartin2403]

Awesome thanks - they all look speedy! It’s gunna be wicked!

[@airflownztravel]

Glen, did you stay on long enough to see the leap out of water attempt? Mike

[@glennmartin2403]

@@airflownztravel yep I did now! Awesome - great catch! Bet there was puckering on board!

[@airflownztravel]

Glen, one hell of a fright! Mike

Great footage as usual...looking nice

Bruce, Thanks for watching, Mike

A beautiful day. Great video

Stefano, thank you, Mike

[@alanbond3265]

Don't quite have the smoothness of the other teams yet. Can't wait for the first race no matter who is involved.

[@mauriziocanale1669]

Because is a crazy nervous boat...

[@airflownztravel]

Alan, look out for ETNZ yacht due out this Thursday, Mike

[@Badmansband]

Any word on ETNZ boat 2?

[@airflownztravel]

BB, the word in the coffee shop has a 19 in it! Mike

[@vitodegiorgio7194]

Sembra che va una meraviglia.Whao che manovra azzardata. Complimenti al video.

[@fabioradicini1093]

guardando gli altri pero' sembra che LR abbia ancora qualche mancanza di bilanciamento...e si stacca meno degli altri dalla superficie dell'acqua

[@airflownztravel]

Vito, many thanks, not many viewers stay long enough to witness that leap, Mike

[@davidefrascari8075]

@@fabioradicini1093 che sia meno alta sull acqua può essere un bene, soprattutto nelle andature portanti per evitare impennate brusche in fase di strambate. In bolina si alza di più per consentire un maggior appruamento. Poi molto dipende dall intensità del vento. Penso che la nuova chiglietta montata sulla barca 2 debba stare appena dentro l acqua per dare stabilità e creare una separazione dei flussi quando la barca è sovrasbandata

[@SpaceCrete]

Looking fast. Deep downwind and high upwind. The bear off can be eventful!

[@airflownztravel]

SC, any comment on the attempt to reach the sky near the end? Mike

[@SpaceCrete]

@@airflownztravel Mike, looks like the rudder stalled, and/or they were concerned about a nose dive. You can see at the bear away after that where they let the main out further (still not that far) like any other boat does in big wind. These boats are not immune! The US just tried out a smaller main, I think because of this control issue.

[@airflownztravel]

@@SpaceCrete SC, you are correct, the leap is caused by loss of rudder control when the foil is out of the water fir just a brief moment, Mike

[@DaveandGinny972]

Another excellent video that just makes me want to be out on the water! Don't seem to be sailing with two helmsmen here as you can see the change over on the tacks and gybes. More touchdown on this as opposed to other vids.

[@airflownztravel]

NY, any comment on the attempt to go into the air near the end? Mike

[@DaveandGinny972]

@@airflownztravel not really, just a moments lapse maybe

[@artistglyn]

Mmmm....all the boats seem to be struggling with stability. Prads's looking pretty good but if they drop into the water on the tack it will kill them in a race. Great video.

[@airflownztravel]

Glyn, many thanks again, Mike

[@muntius8680]

It looks pretty fast! Thanks from your antipodes!

Pedro, glad that you enjoyed, thanks, Mike

[@muntius8680]

@@airflownztravel Great job!

[@airflownztravel]

Pedro, thanks again, Mike

[@radarriau]

I thought the transitions were fast just a few rudder Ventilation snafus... looks like he might be able to outmaneuver others well with a bit more practice.

[@airflownztravel]

Richard, reliable gear will make the winner! Mike

[@airesis.]

Thank you so much, Mike, for your great video footage! Consider that, here in Italy, we are returning to lockdown for Covid-19: we will have a lot of time dedicated to sailing images. Yours could be a mission to distract us by making us fly on water with the imagination ... ;-)

[@airflownztravel]

Mattel, I am glad to provide a distraction to your lockdown, Mike
