All they really need to do now, to ride the wave of this AC, is modify the AC 45's they've already got, to foilers, and run the same AC World Series regatta next summer, in all the same ports around the world, see if they can get 10-15 teams entered and let them all lean to foil.

I wonder how fast one of the AC 45's will go on foils?

Only problem with that is, there were some pretty light air races (and locations) around the world, so it wouldn't be nearly as exciting to watch if it were a light air location.

Perhaps each team would stock two sets of boards, one for big wind foiling, and one conventional set, for lighter air?

The whole foiling thing only came about because the Kiwi's realized SFO Bay has enough wind to make it worth while. That kind of wind is hard to find in many other locations.
