As you probably know, a drone has cameras/sensors that look to avoid obstacles. 
 When the drone returns to the boat, it gets very wary of approaching the sail, 
the rig, etc, so it's hard to catch.  The drone being used on Malizia has a 
handle hanging down and they do show the operator on the transom flying the 
drone toward him, or toward the controller, and he grabs it from underneath, 
turns it upside down, which stops the rotors and he hands it to a crewman.

Watch the video again.

Yes! It's like flying, anybody can take off in a plane, but landing is
another story.! When he first launched it, he almost ran the drone into the
leech. I would think they would buy one of those splash drones that can
survive in water.

Hi,
I've been following the IMOCA foilers every day. The coverage has been 
spectaculare because each boat has a photo/journalist aboard to cover the 
experience in video.  My favorite is Malizia with Boris Herrmann.  The recent 
drone footage has been amazing of cruising at 25 to 29knots boatspeed, nobody 
touching a sheet. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SZgT-FwyU0

I also follow the GGR race, where the sailors are sailing solo around the 
world, in older 35 footers without GPS or any computers.  A woman named Kirsten 
is leading as they have rounded the Horn and approach the equator headed back 
to the finish in France.
