So. How much money is uncle larry going to have to shell out to get this beastie back on the water? Any guesses?
What did he spend on the last AC, something like $360M wasn't it? I have buyers remorse spending $200 on a pair of jeans. lol
I'm boatless.

And all this time I thought it was the crew of Oracle 17 abandoning the boat!

Posts: 1,307 Asuncion, Paraguay | After watching the video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drgglIebuQY) I think they buried the windward bow first. Can anyone confirm my observation? If this in fact happened it is possible that someone just dialed too much angle of attack to the leeward foil or not enough AoA to the leeward one.
