New York City Yacht Club American Magic's vessel, Patriot, flying over Pensacola Bay.
Patriot is an AC75 design hydrofoil, 75-feet long and capable of speeds in excess of 50mph, it literally flies above the water. These boats are highly specialized and take incredible skill and teamwork to operate.
The American Magic team is practicing for the upcoming America's Cup in 2024 at Barcelona, Spain. They'll be here in Pensacola for the next year, so if you're in town be sure to check it out.
@Stonekettle America's cup timelines are always crazy to me. Engineer side of my thinks yeah that's short time frame, but the athletes must be itching to go out. I guess it's shorter than Olympics but still crazy amount of time to dedicate with probably less exposure for common public.
