This was a... a great experience for me and my department, and I... also there weren't any yachts fast enough, doing about 60 knots, which were to... to take the nuclear device and let it off in Miami, or somewhere, so I came up… Oh, I... Harry Saltzman and I, we... we found advertised a hydrofoil, in... in one of the islands – I can't remember which one – for $10,000, so we flew there. And the hydrofoil was one of the Rodriguez hydrofoils that they used in Italy, and it had been lying on dry ground and was not very shipworthy, but we brought it down to the shipyard at Miami and then found out that the Mercedes engines were useless. And so that's when the money builds up, and... and what I did, I built like a cocoon round the hydrofoil, so what it did, it increased the size of the hydrofoil, making it look like a good sized ocean-going yacht, and at the same time, it gave me the opportunity of the hydrofoil and the catamaran really dividing. And the experts in Miami said, 'You've got to be very careful because you can't have them solid, because of the independent movement', and so we had two one inch slip boards on either side.

So the two halves were separated, separately in the waves, and so on, and then the slip bolts came out and the hydrofoil just came out like... like a flash, you know. And it was a very exciting sequence. But, you see, everybody learnt, you know. I had, obviously, great shipbuilders in Miami who built... they repaired the hydrofoil, then built the catamaran, and... and all the underwater buoys and the sharks.
