Would love to sail one of these.

There is something freaky about an $15million 8tonne yacht foiling.

there could be some ass kicking ova that!

I think they killed the America cup when the moved from the 12m yachts, I know I have had no interest since and I follow it for 20 years at that class.
Theses yachts are great to watch but the cost eliminates challengers.

I started watching when Gretel (Australia) challenged for the cup in 1962

just remember that the AC has always represented the cutting edge of sailing.
we can thank the challengers for Aluminium masts,then dacron,then mylar ,kevlar,carbon and epoxy.
then they had the audacity to finally get solid wings firmly into the mainstreanm of sailing.
THEN they had the audacity to lift them out of the water and fly on foils, lots of lessons here for the speeed record people , who have been creeping the record up, when suddenly the course racing boats jump 20knts in speed
