Raphael Censier Works: A-Class Legal Flight Phase II

by · Published · Updated


Nothing much to add, just watch how this kid is changing the sport by his own. Check his label below for the entire story. On video above: 1:14 at must see frame. Sent by Raphael Censier –
“I’ve been testing the new class legal foils with the rig up now after the initial tow testing. In the video, when I pressure for speed, I am against the current. Max speed of the day was 20.8 knts so 22-23 knts for speed of through water.”

    I think with some training it will be more and more stable.Cat sailing is a sport.So if you, anonymous, are waiting for a machine that will bring you home stable and safe you are in the wrong sport.Windsurfboards are unstable,Surfboards are unstable,Snowboards are unstable…But look what the hell the freaks are doing with their boards…The unstability gives you freedom!

    Anon: Definitely you should check the background of this project. Non believers like you were saying he was not flying but jumping, now that he is flying is not stable, and when he'll end riding just like New Zealand AC72 some like you will say: But foils are touching water…

    Give him a break, and enjoy his developments and hard work.
