Would be interesting to see how they jibe. A catapult would be catastrophic... but I guess waterstarts are easier and don't need an uphaul rope...

They Jibe on a dime and catapults become 30 meter "slides". We wear knee pads and a motorcycle helmet when going for world GPS records. It's actually great fun, even in light wind.

interesting how half the field topped out at 53 knots.
I guess that is the limit of how much power the blades allow you to put down vs the drag of the rider and rig.
