South Carolina | I have a feeling these things might actually foil.

South Carolina | NZ looks well suited for the big water in San Fran Bay. I'm going to be out there in a couple of weeks - hoping to stop by and see something.

Sebring, Florida. | Are the 72's all going to be of the same design/builder, like the 45's, or is it a 'box' rule, where we may see some vatiations?

On the Water | really simple box rule by the way . . .  "batch-nominal elastic modulus of the fibers in an FRP laminate with the modulus measured with impregnated tows, by extensometers, between 1000 and 6000 microstrains; the Measurement Committee will accept the following testing methods (and may accept other similar methods): SACMA-SRM16, ASTM D 4018, or JIS R 7601;" Several of the rules I like: No trim adjustments to foils No water ballast No boundary layer technology on hulls Manual power only (no more generators, etc.) Limited use of electronics, wireless, weather tracking, etc. Inclusion of cameras and microphones for spectators.

St. Louis, MO, | Why the center hull? Seems like extra weight for no gain in performance? I don't get it.
