- Ten months ago a bundle of smart looking renderings set the scene for a wild and ambitious concept - Today it's the real deal, afloat and flying. And in putting theory into practice this Mark Mills designed keelboat foiler has triggered an important question, is this the start of offshore foiling?
To find out we take a close look at Flying Nikka's first sailing trials and talk to Mark Mills about how the first few days went and what the future holds.
We also take a look at the opening event in Bermuda for Sail GP Season 3 and ask among other things, why the big guns aren't performing.
And while we're on the subject of foils, we take a look at how one move may have changed the game for Olympic windsurfers and possibly everyone else on a flying sailboard.
Plus, the Kiwis roll their land yacht out of the shed for the first time and start their speed testing runs in Auckland.
And still there's more, a new IMOCA team is announced for The Ocean Race and Dee Caffari tells us about her new shorthanded project, plus there's a new Lego boat building project and another double helping of Docktalk.

There's racing and there's sailing. When I watch racing, I like to see spectacular things: machines, teams, equipment, course, etc. And this is what's finally happening! Congrats. 😎
Just love how you love all sail racing from sail boards to the latest fast design of any class or development.. killing it.
Beautifully presented news of all that is happening in the sport of sailing!
Thank you for all the informative and interesting news from the sailing industry! Thank you for sharing our project! 46:01😄⛵
Matt, you are the David Attenborough of sailing. Much love from Seattle.
Ditto from another Seattlite
Nice! Those P-3 Orion just chillin in the background 25:31 which are VERY clean examples of a 40+ year old aircraft!
Hwy Matt, thanks for sharing our unique LEGO projects! 😁
The next project is already under construction. It is a completely different yacht. ⛵️
Mathew: if there’s a top caliber journalist coupled with the best sailing reviews maker, that’s definitely you man. We sooo much enjoy your scripts in your reviews.
The Beneteau FIRST 36 was released a while ago and it’s such a revolution! Weight-saving wise and superb Italian decor inside, thanks to Lorenzo Argento. And the better news: Soon this summer, the Beneteau FIRST 44 will be released and tested too, and showcased in the coming Cannes festival.
We wonder: which one will you cover 🤔🤔
Really hope you can see both 🤩🤩🤩
You’re the best Sheahan 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Another great digest.. thanks Matt.
love the updates on everything sailing
Fantastic job, Matt. Love the diversity of your stories! And it doesn't seem fair to pair Shirley Robertson and Dee Cafari on a 2 hander. That is some serious yachting cred!
Hi Mark another fantastic project from you pencil. I love your sailboat
Excellent show once again great content. From Downunder.⛵️⛵️⛵️
Evolution in design is challenging. Right now, the tech may not seem affordable but, as time goes by, new designs, new manufacturing methods, new..... Who knows what? It could be something no one expects.
Jukes vern, 80 days was extreme 30 years ago. Now mono hulls do the same in under 60, solo.
Thanks Matt! 🤝👍🏻
Just a heads up, the foiling windsurfer brand is Starboard, and the class of board is an IQ Foil. Thanks for your great content. 👍
Very interesting episode!
You definitely have to look at more catamaran. We use diff a lot
AMAZING
Up to you of course, but I (and so presume many others) are so used to 15 min or so pieces on TH-cam that you might find it hard to get that many subs watching to the end. I know I know … sometimes you have to roll with it though! Great material perhaps it could be chuckled into single topic items as well for those similarly afflicted with short atten- what? Thanks!
Impressive I must say a long way before it’s practical
Exploring practical applications. How far can it sail? Could they be coastal couriers or shipping.
Currently the record circumnavigation time is just under 41 days. What do people think the new record might be?
I love sailing and technology, foiling is the pinnacle but my concern is the loud cavitation noise and how it might effect sea life. Military ultrasound has been known to deafen whales and cause beaching. How do loud foils compare? Should there be sonic Db level max as a regulation requirement. Also am concerned about high speed collisions with marine life.
Never thought about the sonic aspect, but the collision with marine life probability seems a strong concern if this design is eventually used for blue water boats .
Shirley needs to respect the idea of bow down in offshore sailing but man the complementary of those two legends we might see some stuff that is absolutely groundbreaking
How far out the arms are in the foiling off shore boat are when the come up on a wave on the down side while balancing that with putting the arm in the water is very likely and will turn the boat up Aggressively. Any thoughts?
Loved today's show! So much diverse information; that's nice. Would have scored 10 out of 10 if there was also content about wooden boats!. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Texas!
In a couple of the motorsports they call the time when team/sponsor/racer realign the 'silly season'
great& enjoyable $$$$$.....deeeeeep.
Please how do we bring these crazy machines to my sailing world! I mean 30knots! How fun would it be to pass a gas pusher on the ocean, it’s like a dream…hoping when I retire they found a more simpler version that I could buy, dreams dreams dreams
Who actually invented the claw shaped hydro foil?
CHAPTERS PLS?
Hi Matt looking Good David B
The foiler looks slow...
Let us get back to normal sailing with a team not locked into a cockpit and real men sailing. This crap of computers controlling the boat is not the road ahead!
I agree. We also need to have at least 33% of the boat actually in the water
Stuff changes.
The same sort of stuff has been said about every major step change in every sport ever. Hell, using a fiberglass boat in the America's cup in 1987 was "cheating" and would never become the norm ...
No amount of puritanical holier-than-thou whinging will get rid of foiling now that it's a thing. Accept it as another category of the sport, and as a way to further non-fan interest in sailing (which can only be good). The traditional classes will still be there, just now there is another aspect available for non-traditionalists who want to take up sailing with a bit of speed involved.
That sailing isnt going away. Its still very alive and well.
This boat is faster. Racing is about fast. Deal with it.
Too many thinly veiled infomercials. Sponsored content should be clearly identified.
I don't know where you got a 100,000 approval rating from when far less people watch these videos and certainly not > 100,000 comment on them. This stuff is really boring, especially for anyone acquainted with the far more complex sport of sailing (i.e. in the water). All this boring, technical engineering spiel now has replaced skills on the water. I had to skip most of it.
It would be nice if you gave a table of video segment timing so people can skip the bs
someone need to tell Glen that componentries is not a word. It is components.
Go sailing then and stop watching this video.
@@ben3989 it is too cold at the moment
Great video!
