I wonder if they have seatbelts on that dinghy...

Just remember, flying boats are at the bottom of the food chain according to the COLREGS.

USP,
Great vids. Two thoughts
1. That looks like a more well thought out concept than the "tin-can" trimiran.

2. It should also appeal to the MacGregor crowd, answering once and for all the question of what type of dink the well-equipped Mac sailor carries.

Sway: You've got a mean streak. I approve.

Tthe TinCan has trouble handling 8' seas and 10-15 knots of wind... but is supposed to be able to survive and circumnavigate via the Southern Ocean...so Mr. Vann has a bit of re-designing to do... btw, do you think the repairs should count towards the $25,000 budget he has set for building the boat???

That's no big deal. There's been one of those buzzing around the Detroit River near Lake Erie for at least 4 years.

That's no Flying Boat. I've seen Flying Boats. Would love to own one.

That's a boat flying, quite something else at all.

I wonder if they have a 5 place version for my 14' RBI center console...Hee hee.
