Sail or Fly?

The-Flying-PhantomThe Flying Phantom is a sailboat that apparently lives up to its name. Launched earlier this year at the Paris Boat Show, this $40,000 catamaran will likely be used in a number of sailboat races in 2014. The Flying Phantom can get up on its foils in wind as low as seven knots sailing downwind, and upwind if the speed is above 10 knots. According to the makers its maximum speed has hit 33 knots, but it could easily reach 45-50 knots in the right conditions.
