The link in the description is broken. Would love to know more. Especially about the super-large backstays for the wing rigger - does the oarlock translate up and down? I know this specific pair of oars (saw them the last time I visited Yale boathouse), and I know they're not a custom set for this project, but did they have to be longer? If so, did the outboard just change (same inboard)? Did you have to change the span appreciably (some crazy custom rig)? I'd like to see some more closeups of the sliding rigger and seat - was the sliding rigger adapted from an existing system (e.g. Virus sculls)? Did you use gunwale-mounted tracks or some other means? Did you end up putting a back on the seat to keep your butt from sliding? What kind of reinforcement of the hull was necessary, for both the hydrofoils and the sliding rigger?

This looked cool until I saw the Patriot stickers on his blades. Then it became a matter of whether I wanted to throw up or not.
