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.
Hydrofoil sailing, sigh.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the sailboat behind the front one is dousing the spinnaker for a tacking maneuver around the buoy.
As I've turtled old school catamarans doing that, I wonder how hard that hydrofoil cat would flip if errors occurred.
Had a Hobie 16 when I was young. Couldn't beat it. Would look for wakes from power boats and get it airborne like that.
DeleteYeah turtled a few times too.
Here's what happens when you pitch pole a foiling Nacra

Yes, no interest at all in modern sailing with hydrofoils.
ReplyDeleteThere's a fine line between acceleration and disintegration.
