And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
These 'boats' can do 40+ knots so the controlling helmsman HAS to be able to see what is in front of him. I watched a video on the newest boats and there is a port-side helmsman and trimmer, a starboard-side helmsman and trimmer placing the grinders (meat powerplants) down in the hull where they can't even see what is going on.
There is another helm on the other side. I wonder why.

Impressive. Few times been on a sail ship, found it so amazing how fast the wind pushes a boat.
ReplyDeleteTheoretically they can sail faster than the wind. And make their own wind. Some of these high tech boats prove that.
DeleteOn a wing and a prayer.
ReplyDeleteFlying the Hull! Loved my Hobi Cat back in the 70S
