1436115 2017-06-16 22:56:00 Here's a Vimeo clip on the technicalities of the new AC boats from an Artemis perspective ... The Insane Tech That Make America’s Cup Yachts Fly on Water

Click HERE (www.youtube.com)

Fascinating how aerodynamics have been introduced to make these boats ... fly. :)

1436116 2017-06-16 23:09:00 Awww come on, only 9 out of 14, and in true ANZAC spirit we gave them Sir Russell Coutts who has won the Cup 5 times just to oversee things. :lol:

We didn't give them Coutts, they bought him fair and square ;)

1436117 2017-06-17 00:15:00 It's a big money Business and the Americans will not want the Cup coming Downunder they will want to keep it in Bermuda at any cost

Things are going to get dirty

Great link Wal. :thumbs:

I'm still trying to get my head around how the hell they could do 24 knots into a 12 knot current with no wind at all. :confused:

Really, with no wind?

You are not well. :rolleyes:

You are not well. :rolleyes:Perhaps you should get an understanding of ocean currents. Besides, they're not sailing in the doldrums.... there's always at least a breeze.

Perhaps instead of talking scribble you should go to the 8 min 40 sec point of the Link Wal provided and then come back and explain how you could do that on a Windsurfer.
