AC45 on foils!

Posted : June 25, 2012 8:26 am

oh lord. That's insane. Assuming it increases the speed, it's going to add a whole new dimension to racing these as they will now slow down so much in the turn (or...I assume they will).
The C-class experience to date didn't show much promise with lifting foils on a catamaran - but their horsepower is limited. Maybe with the additional headsails and such, this will make sense. That looks wicked fast.

Willing to bet they manage to figure out how to tack it without coming off of foils.
