They reckon this 'boat' will cruise at 50 knots and break the 100 kt barrier!!!!!

I doubt that it will, but it would be ipressive to see if it does.

Al.

I've just been reading some more.... I like the way they say 'at relatively low speeds of 50-70knots!!

The loads and stresses on Monofoil have been carefully calculated to be safe at 100 knots. This means that at fairly low speeds of around 50 to 70 knots Monofoil will still be "flying", but the loads will be greatly reduced and well inside the design parameters. This will make Monofoil ideal for both short, fast runs and longer ocean passage records. The craft�s only limitations are likely to be down to pilot endurance and nerve.
