The Hydrofoil “Seaflight”3 was launched on Lake Kariba, this was one of a kind in Rhodesia. It had been imported secretly, its transportation from the coast to Kariba had presented many challenges. It has an ill-fated career, not long after its arrival it struck an underwater obstacle and was badly damaged. After extensive repairs, it was brought back into service again, but the loss of revenue and the expense of the repairs caused financial problems. The boat was eventually sold in South Africa.
