Here’s the America’s Cup Village planned for San Francisco in 2013. Super yachts, public areas and stage with giant screen, and 4 AC72 catamarans on the hard, with the flags of USA, France, Italy and New Zealand. Not Sweden? Where is our Challenger of Record, “Artemis?” Perhaps too smart to risk putting their race boat on display?
This video shows the AC45 wingsail, but it will also give a good idea of the general principles of the AC72 wings. Remember that the AC45 is a one design boat, so all the wings are the same. For the AC72’s each team can design its own wing.
The AC45 catamaran has 5 crew, 3 winches on each hull and lots of strings to pull. This video explains who does what. Comments and feedback welcome. And, at the end of the video if you have a question, “Just ask Jack!”
