Rare film of 'Monitor', circa 1956, the first sailing hydrofoil, designed by Baker Manufacturing in conjunction with the US Navy. From the George O'Day Film Collection.
nice post! and now in 2024 we're foiling narragansett bay standing on a board with a hand held inflatable wing. hard to believe it took almost 50 years for foils to catch on for general recreation and one design racing.

Still slower than a Hobie 16 on the same point of sail.
