Flying over the water in a Rave Trimaran by Cal Landau Photography

I have been talking to the owner of this trimaran for months about doing this project. I knew I could do a great video of this Rave foiled trimaran.
What is special about this boat is that when it gets up to speed, it lifts up out of the water on foils, greatly reducing the drag.
I had intended to do some out of boat shooting also, but the high winds and cool conditions kept us from that.
Ihe winds were very unpredictable and gusting to over 25 knots, but Olivier is a fantastic sailor and had us going over wind speed often. It was a real thrill and when we got up in the air, everything got smoother and the wind howled by us.
Thanks for a great time Olivier!
