Well done Raphael!

I just had the opportunity to watch the video.

Were you the fastest boat on the day of the Regatta?

Bonjour Charlie,
Thank you for your support ! Bad luck for me, already beaten by my friend Alain and his "I va Vite 2", we both have it by Ghislain's "Ky"

I already know that this new project will not be a winner, never mind, I will build another one like this one :

Please keep in mind that we may not exceed 8 bar (+/- 120 PSI).

First test with a 60 mm propeller :

Second test with a 70 mm propeller :

Bonjour,
Little update on my speed project.
After a first test on the pond with a 60 mm then a 70 mm two blades speed propeller,
I have decided to move the boiler back in order to raise the bow a little and lower the bow wave that threatens to enter the boat. To be tested as soon as possible :
