There are lots of videos on YouTube of the smaller C8 in choppy seas and crossing the wakes of other boats.
I happened to see one for real gliding over some waves big enough to give me a bumpy ride in a conventional motorboat.
So they do better than a conventional motorboat in the kind of normal rough sea.
There must be some wave height that starts to give it problems, but it’s up past where normal little motorboats become hampered too.
- roflyear 3y agoCan you link? I don't see anything that is more than "average" waves for the sea.
- Sayrus 3y agoI think the video wood_spirit is referencing to is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i2Zf9WVlNY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i2Zf9WVlNY It's not extreme weather and the waves don't reach the length of the foil itself. I'm curious as well as to what happens on rough seas.
- roflyear 3y agoAlso totally different boat eh. Those waves are probably a little bigger than they look, but yes, definitely "better than average" I would say.
- wood_spirit 3y agoA quick search for “candela c8 rough” finds some? Boy do I want one. For those calm days though. The quietness is another big draw. I have a 4stroke and it’s so peace destroying.
