Alinghi Challenge AC37

[Sailbydate]

Of boat speed, yes.

Now it is 16 knots of wind speed...

Only if you're sailing one of those satanic multi-hulls, or AC75, Patriot, cause the rudder was shuddering so violently, ya couldn't hold on. ;-)

...

Do you still have that nice Tri down by Hood Canal? Am fantasizing about retiring to the same or a similar island's west-facing coast.

No, I sold it last year.  We hadn't been sailing it, and it was time for the second best day of a boat-owner's life.

 

[Basiliscus]

@Basiliscushave you looked at the new rule which seems be bound to produce even longer foils?

No, I haven't.  

Longer foils would make it easier to take off in marginal conditions.

No, I haven't.

That's the intent -and to produce more RM to correct for the reduction in RM from reduction in weight. So much is clear, but the impact of that on other stuff is interesting

More drag completes the equation, of course. Trade-offs are the name of this game.

+1. Nothing goes down smoother that a Fosters.

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

With today's announcement of Oracle becoming the title sponsor of the newly renamed/rebranded Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 will that mean we're going to see an Oracle logo on the Alinghi yacht?

if pigs could fly!

 

[Fiji Bitter]

Not sure who would hate to see that happen more, Ernesto or Larry.

Anyway, someone needs to photoshop that onto Alinghy when time comes, but please don't tell anyone!
