After two years in design and build, the next generation of foiling catamaran, the TF35 boat zero has been launched on Lake Geneva. For the very first time, Ernesto Bertarelli's team Alinghi has been able to test the new foiling machine.
"The feeling, it's like skiing in powder, it is really soft, you don't hear anything but the vibration of the foils," explains Arnaud Psarofaghis, mainsail trimmer for Alinghi.
"Strangely it feels like a big boat, everything is very quiet, very stable," adds bowman Yves Detrey.
