Over the weekend, the French SailGP boat briefly touched almost 58.2 kts. I'm wondering what spillover effects we might see in our corner of the foiling world?

Isn't the 500m speed record at 65.45 knots (121.21 km/h). Set in water conditions seemingly less tame than what shown in the GP video?

I actually did! I had them around for a wind-sup and one day I attached them to one of my windsurfs and took off. Idea was: "maybe when the wind drops I can just add the stabilizers instead of changing board". Unfortunately the only thing I achieved were some nice fountains of water sprouting out between hull and stabilizers 🤔

The water pressure is high the second you gain some speed, it might work in displacement, if the purpose is just to add stability for a beginner. But I still wonder why a practical system to change the volume of a board was never developed. Not anything requiring bolting on/off parts, as it has been attempted. Would be great to have morph hull that can be made larger or narrower using just a pump ...
