		</div><p>French inventor Franky Zapata will try again to traverse the English Channel on a flying board after his first attempt failed at the halfway mark.</p>
<p>The 40-year-old’s wife, Christele, said he will retry the 22.4-mile journey on Sunday from the French town of Sangatte to an area near Dover in England.</p>
<p>Last week, on his first attempt, Mr Zapata crashed into a refuelling boat 12 miles into the trip.</p>
<p>This time, his wife said he will use a larger boat for the refuelling stop in the hope that it will make landing easier.</p>
<p>The inventor has had to build a new board, a customised version of the Flyboard his company sells for water sports.</p>
<p>The engine is fuelled by paraffin he carries in a backpack, with his feet fastened to the board.</p>
