Wow. I couldn't get over how flat the thing sat in the water... no heeling at all. I guess that is a joint property of removing the mast (ie. reducing unnecessary vertical offset prior to thrust distribution across the hull) plus curved foils / mini-keels visible a the start and end of the video. Impressive stability given the low profile in the water.
Yeah, I'm curious why these are not more widespread. Maybe it's not as "cool" when it doesn't heel? And probably not possible to run in any regattas with that kite.
