Italian is more like a daggerboard in the middle of rather flat bottom and Kiwi's boat has a "rounder" belly. Looks like 3 boats and 3 different designs to me. Waiting for more pics from the Italian.

The aggressive anhedral of the foils helps to open up the superposition region where cavitation may be an issue. The tips seem to compensate for this and maybe return some roll stability.

The keel continues to just in front of the rudder. Doesn't look maneuverable in displacement mode.. wonder what the advantage is.

Frazzled and late to start. We'll be seeing plenty more of that.

The one thing you can count on from the Italians is their boats will look fantastic. Even with yellow foil arms and rudder.

Its all in the attention to detail... Great to see they solved the breaking of the champagne on the bow making it easy for her!

Spithill's been doing a bang up job in the forklift and running stairs and props all over the joint.

Minor remark: apparently, Italy doesn’t share the US requirement that a painted flag should have the staff side toward the bow. So, on starboard the staff (green) segment is aft - had noticed that on a previous LR boat
OTT, I see absolutely nothing that would jusify Max Sirena’s claim they delayed launching by one full month so that the competition wouldn’t copy them ...

I see they have the torpedo foils. Could have delayed the launch after seeing the AM foils! They can only splash 6 foils and may have realized the NZ type foil was inferior?

Three super-high quality boats launched - amazing effort from these teams interpreting a new rule.
ETNZ are an outlier in respect of their foil design.
AM do not have the bustle - a more aero hull.
It will be really interesting to se the next iteration of these boats.

I would find it even more interesting to see them sail against each others.
