This sailing fail video is a must-see for anyone who loves the water and has experienced the thrill of sailing, especially on boats like the Mumm 36. The phrase "don't forget to duck" takes on a whole new meaning when you're sailing on Strangford Lough and a sudden mishap occurs, turning your sailboat upside down in a split second. Sailing 101 teaches you to be prepared for anything, but even the most experienced sailors can fall victim to epic fails like these. Caught on camera, this sailing fail is one of the most savage fails of the week, and it's a reminder that even with the best sailing skills, things can still go wrong. Whether you're a fan of yacht racing or just a casual boater, this video is sure to make you laugh and cringe at the same time. With its stunning footage of sailing gone wrong, this clip is perfect for anyone who loves sailboats, yachting, and the thrill of the open water. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this hilarious sailing fail video, but don't forget to duck! The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying the short clips of our racing action

Test of the hover controller, in particular in yaw direction (multicopter frame, i.e. roll direction in airplane frame). The yaw is stabilized using the flaperons which are in the propeller wash. The flaperon deflections are visible when Chris pokes the kite with the broom. The controller quickly reacts and stabilizes smoothly the yaw angle back to zero. Note that differential propeller directions as used for small multicopter-drones do not offer nearly enough yaw moment for control authority of the kite's inertia or expected wind loads. In addition, such a control scheme greatly reduces the thrust for yaw stabilization. This is why this is not feasible for our system.

iFLY Foil Coaching - The fun never ends as you enjoy the moment and the thrill of speed while flying above the water’s surface. New iFLY owner with no trapeze and only little sail experience only on bigger yachts so far: First he is doing trapeze training on land. On the first sailing day, he sailed double and it was a great start to an amazing adventure. He is now feeling self-confident while foiling. On the third day, he starts to learn tacking and gybing, and by the last day, he is really getting wild and the rib can’t keep up with him anymore… _______ @foilingschool @forward_wip _______ #FoilSailing #catamaran #sailing #foilingtack #learnFoiling #foilingAcademy
