The America's Cup AC75 Boat Concept

submitted by newtboy

6 years 12 months ago

Here it is! The ground-breaking new #americascup class race boat concept. The #AC75 is the bold new high performance fully foiling monohull. @emiratesteamnz

Grant Dalton: “Once foiling, the AC75 has the potential to be faster than an AC50 both upwind and downwind.”

So, they are racing hydrofoils now?

Whatever goes fastest.

It's interesting to look at the evolution of the boats in these races.

I was really into that until 1:35 when the awful animation kicked in.

It wasn't just the fake drama of the race (although that really got to me), but there were so many things wrong technically. The worst is when boat even goes through 180 without the sails moving at all; I know it's a small thing, but as someone who sails - presumably a large target audience - it just looked so wrong.

Great boat, and nice ideas though. I'd love to see it in action to see if they actually work.

So...AC75 is bigger and faster than AC50? What about AC100?

jokingly says...

It's 25 more.
