Since the beginning, the aim has been to beat the speed sailing world record. For now three years, the world record is held by <A href="YPE.html"> Yellow Pages </A> (Australia - 1993). Designed by Lindsay Cunningham, the record boat reached 46.52 knots. <BR> <BR> To go that quick, it's necessary to keep the boat out of the water. <a href="hydroptere.html" >Hydroptere</A> and <A href="vecteur.html" >Vecteur vitesse</A> both use hydrofoils for lifting the machine. But from a "finesse" point of view, the use of aircraft wings is better than foils. So, to summarise, The Flying Duck uses hydrofoils for mid-speed cruise and airfoils for high speed runs. <BR> <BR> Furthermore, the Flying Duck uses a pyramidal double sail in order to decrease the rolling momentum. It is therefore possible to increase the propulsion power... and to break the world record!!!!!!!!!!! <BR><BR> <CENTER> <IMG SRC="inconstr.gif"> </CENTER> </BODY> </HTML>
