Gunboats are built to move. Here's a quick look at the range including the new addition - a Gran Turismo catamaran. ▫️ "Sail Fast. Live Fully". That's the new mantra at Gunboat where they are developing a new line of luxury performance yachts: the Fusion 80. She's designed so performance and comfort do not compete but rather reinforce each other.  ▫️ How Have They Achieved That? ▫️ The Fusion 80 has been engineered to outperform its volume class by ~30%. They have achieved this through: - High-aspect appendages. A stiff, lightweight composite platform - Optimised hydrodynamics by VPLP Low friction, efficient hull forms - A large, balanced sail plan (310m2 upwind) Less weight (25T) = more wind unlocked ▫️ The Fusion 80 sails in 6-8 knots of breeze where heavy cruisers motor. ▫️ Longer sailing windows, quieter passages, less motoring. ▫️ We're looking forward to seeing this one on the water! ▫️ #luxury #yacht #gunboat72 #gunboat68 @GUNBOATCATAMARANS

Quick test of a tiny QEV cannon firing air at 12atm, viewed through a Schlieren setup (no razor blade). Unedited at normal speed. I didn't quite understood the need for a razor blade but without one I still see the flow of air. For me, the razor blade just makes the dot of light smaller(?) If anyone can clarify me what the razor blade really does and where it should be placed (in the source of light or in the camera) I'd really appreciate. Also important to note that this is AWESOME to look with the naked eye but almost the dimmest light can blind you. I covered a tiny LED torch with aluminum foil and punctured a hole with a sewing needle, on the side! so that the LED doesn't bright directly through the hole. Take care with the eyes!!
