Here we go folks! It’s July’s Caption Contest(!) time.

    The latest development in foiling… no hull, and the crew all wear snorkles.

    Semi-stealth submarine with wind power

    1. “I know deck-sweeping sails are more efficient, but isn’t this carrying it a tad too far?”

    2. “Steady at periscope depth Captain; wind propulsion mode engaged.”

    Leave a little room between the sail and deck for green water!

    We are still working on a few bugs in her self-righting.
    Maybe we should have checked the thru-hulls?
    There’s nothing quite as inspiring when the sails fill with an ocean breeze.

    Rake the mast forward, and lower the hull!

    Captain Nemo’s less-bright brother (Biff) was jealous of all the attention he received. His short-lived attempt at fame – an experiment with wind-powered submersibles – ended in disaster. RIP Biff.

    I didn’t realize the weight limit was a real thing

    A swell day for a sail!

    Ok, who put the foils on upside down…

  13. Scott Henry 3 years ago

    The worlds first racing sail submarine is a go!

  14. Nikk White 3 years ago

    Is this the lever for the foils? Ops

    See? I told you it’s not impossible to submarine your sailboat.

    Where the frig is Sprig?

    Wrong spinnaker for the reach leg of an old school Olympic triangle.

    I was there …steering… and hating the loads on this full size runner.

      Greg – You were AWESOME as always! It was a SWELL day for a race, and happy to add SPRIG to my SUBMARINER Series. I also captured RORY in the trough on the same weekend. You and SPRIG are always in my sights for a great photo!

    All swell that end swell!

    • Janie Allan Noon 3 years ago

      You caught it! I was racing on CHIMAERA, a few troughs over – and love adding our wooden beauties to my SUBMARINER series! I have caught 3 schooners, a 10 metre, a Spirit of Tradition custom, and a few more.

    I said to HEAD down!

  23. Pat McIntosh 3 years ago

    new attempt in getting additional waterline length and beat a lousy rating.

  24. Paul Warren 3 years ago

    Although great for the environment, this new submarine class is slightly less stealth.

  25. Ed Neiman 3 years ago

    Which one of you said… “Dive, Dive”?

  26. Tom Walchli 3 years ago

    I think we might need a re cut on the light #1.
    Looks a bit bellied.

  27. John Bishop 3 years ago

    A rising tide does NOT lift all boats.

  28. Pat Broderick 3 years ago

    The sailmaker said, “Get a photo of the new sails for the ad.”

  29. Dave Peterson 3 years ago

    I said douse the spinnaker; I meant just take it down, not plunge it into the ocean!
