On the Road to the Sailing World Speed Record | Syroco - Footage from the Journey!

We have come a long way since the first presentation of our remote controlled prototype in Monaco back in July 2021, and its first flight in December 2021 pulled behind our RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat).
In 2022, we have learned to master the flight of this totally new concept in speed sailing, regardless of winds or water conditions. Huge thanks to our partners and suppliers who helped us reach this target, now we are eager to go faster!

I was surprised that this didn’t hit bigger in the news in America.
I remember the predecessor to this from a few years ago.

Impressionnant !!! Hâte de voir la suite !!! 😁👌🏼🌊💨💙

Fantastic to get control so dialled in on a small model. Well done!! The state of the lines shows you put a lot of work into getting that to happen. You're going to do this!

Je trouve ce bateau tellement beau preuve de qualité.Le projet que vous avez est tellement exceptionnel.Je pense que vous atteindrez votre objectif des 150 kilomètreurs.Votre équipe a l’air super surtout un de vos fondateurs.Je pense que vous devez être très fière de vous!! Bravo!

Holy shirt balls! This is insane! From a racing cats/kitesurfing background here, this is off the charts! *when the foil pops, teabagging and big air enters the chat * Go get it!

This concept is so incredible! It looks very challenging to learn how to make it controllable, compared to a conventional rigid wing glider.

However, I think people might object that a glider with a supercavitating paravane on the end of a line is not a "proper" sailing vessel, despite it using the same quintessential principles.

[putteification]

Intriguing! You have the right ideas how to do this.

[dion]

Proof of concept complete! This will be very fast.

Great - the kite tug is coming. Vessels like this (much bigger and steadier) can sail from one contract to the next pulling freight vessels across the seas, while the last ship unloads. With the quality of wind forcasting trips can be optimised and vast quantities of fuel use avoided.

[Berlengas_]

The idea is fantastic. Do you think you can keep in control?

[Juan-jmsf]

This is on Polynesian vaka ikaute was used for pulling equipment from boats to land

[angellestat]

I want a new video about this.. even if it is not ready.

[Riccardo.B.]

I think that the most challeging aspect is to keep the inverted foil in the water. I guess that this concept is statically un-stable. I mean, there is no self stabilizing force keeping always the foil in the water, but not to deep in the water at the same time, unless it is planned to install also an additional foil counter acting against the main inverted one, to make the concept statically stable

[TheocraM]

can only for sport, if the wing will broke during a strong wind and high wawe u r f...!But I love the Idea

[MrStevenlynch]

Hi, What evidence do you have that your project will go 150km/hr?

[jameslittlewood]

What the fuck was that? Any chance of a shot longer than 3 seconds so we can see what’s going on?

[janburgers]

A kite is not a sail and a boat moves through the water. This is pod kiting.
