hell yes. all competitors happy ETNZ opted to play an away game.

lol.

interesting. also, there was a wing.

so. four giant mains? presumably out the most exotic material available.. oof. to be a sail-maker on that project.

and the 'art' it replaced.. 

not even a lake - just an architect designed water feature on the Oracle campus (although perhaps tidally fed). Still, it's much cooler than your average corporate art - if you ask me.. 

you know. those two B's really do have much in common.

somehow, they got that giant tri back to HQ. https://goo.gl/maps/nxUoD71LqAJKUFZDA

cough.. 

smooth..

fun fact: she's still lying at the bottom off Pt. Loma, about 1,000 feet down.

no cyclors needed. 

I guess the point I'm trying to make is the rule may have gotten too mechanical. I like foiling - but the pure foiling of an A-class catamaran is a much prettier aesthetic to my mind (no active foil controls - just boards in water). all the grinding makes the AC boats look like power boats -...

well sure. but I am beginning to think it might have gone too far, when your hull gives way to a fuselage.

hull shape mattered? that is certainly one differentiator in this foiling war - what's a shearline, and what is it goodfor?

one team seemed to get it better than the others? 

I don't recall that second race, on the 18th, off the top of my head. But I was sitting there front and center, on the sea-wall, for the light air drifter on the 20th (imo, the last best chance NZ had to take the series). ETNZ just plain out-sailed Oracle - left them for dead. The difference was...

September 20, 2013. "With Team New Zealand well ahead in light winds near the end of the fourth leg, the first race on September 20 was abandoned by the race committee due to the race exceeding the 40-minute time limit."

fifAP. 

I guess the opposite really. And I think many reached this conclusion ahead of me: that the big add of an F1 team isn't going to be hydro IQ - obviously - but instead software and/or system design. For example, we all know which team had the most success in terms of foil design. They pretty much...
