A Note From Roy:
“The accomplishment of rowing an ocean should never be underestimated and will continue to remain at the core of O.R.C.A. However, as I hope is evident in the O.R.C.A trimarans, possibilities and design developments are never far from the forefront of my mind.”

A kite produces ten times more power than a conventional sail of the same area.
In time, conventional sails may give way to the vastly more efficient power kite.
2012 marked the inception of BULLET. After continued thought, perfected 13 years later is the fastest design of ocean rowing boat, also capable of being flown.
If one can sail and row oceans, design and build, I suppose it’s inevitable at some point, all the disciplines will combine in creating something very special and contrary to ocean rowing, when kite power and speed is also attractive.
“We require rowers and pilots” and “when the rowing deck becomes the flight deck“.
