<HTML>Hi Adrian,
Do not know of any. But any time they put one of these contraptions up, it was like a 3-ring-circus. The think could only be launched and retrieved in very calm sea conditions, which meant ofc little or no wind. Problem was, the 20kn of max. boat speed was barely enough to get and keep it aloft. So they wanted a bit of headwind to help, but not too much to kick up the seas. So you can easily see, the available weather windows for such operation were limited. Rgds, RB</HTML>
