AC37: The NYYC want to go backwards. Let's keep foiling!
Misbehavin' replied to winchfodder's topic in America's Cup Anarchy
On merit. I think it would make the AC, and sailing in general, more interesting to females. Their looks would be a bonus. A weigh-in with female sailors would be a win-win IMHO, even though that probably make me a sexist pig that objectify women and only value them based on their looks. -
Your video appears to be gone now. Watching these scenes, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie again.

Which reminds me, we need more female sailors in the AC. And in general, of course. -
Reading comprehension isn't your strong point, apparently.

Dream car? It appears to me that you're the slow one, grandad. At least it doesn't drive like a bus, unlike your examples.

Yee-haw! Do you get a mullet-haircut for free when you buy one of those? And, nice american british AC Cobra there, mate.

Nah, you can keep your american trash.

I'm wondering what "light underwear" consists of, a thong? -
The RX-8 isn't much of a looker either, and the BMW has suicide doors as well. At first I hated the look of the i3, but having driven one the design actually makes a lot of sense, being free from the ICE-constraints of design. And that's coming from a current Alfa Romeo owner. The i3 does look better in "S"-spec though with a wider track, lowering springs, arch extensions and wider tires. Especially in a darker colour. I would actually go as far saying, that the i3 is more fun to drive than both the Porsches I've driven and the MX-5 that I used to own. I would put my money where my mouth is at, if I had acces to charging facilities at my apartment complex.

BMW i3S is your answer, it's a lot more fun to drive than you would ever believe from looking at it. The following is stolen from another forum I frequent, and is a good explanation of why it drives so well: 1) RWD 2) Ultra stiff Carbon Fibre tub/chassis 3) Ultra low Centre of gravity (lower than that of an elise actually!) 4) 50:50 weight distribution 5) Low polar moment of inertia 6) Mid engined 7) 180 bhp, 280 Nm "engine" that revs to 13,000 rpm Less than 1300 kg as well, with good steering feel. Reads more like a supercar, and not a city car.

Good question, which I've been thinking about quite a bit aswell. As much as I love sailing/racing in the traditional sense and in displacement boats, foiling is the future. Going back from foiling would be a step back. In the same vein, should they have stayed with foiling catamarans and developed them further, rather than going "monohull" for this AC?

It reminds me of the videogame The Sims.

Interesting, I've never seen a Bianca with red stripes nor without the two-colour striping.
