I guess technically when either one is riding on one hull they're a mono...
I was also noticing on the replay that A pitches a lot more in the waves upwind - I hadn't noticed it as much watching live. There was a definite contrast to BOR being more steady and A pitching.
So, my new winter project - canting wing sail and banana boards on my F-27...
Can't wait to watch tomorrow...
On one hull they are monos... but for ballast, stability, hull shape, drag, speed, etc.
The pitching difference relates to Alinghi having bow overhangs to measure at 90 ft LWL, while BMWO's floats are free from measurement restrictions, the boat resting on the mainhull for measurement. BMWO is better balanced. It also relates to the inclination of B's amas, as I posted before in this same thread.
Also dreaming of a wing and curved board, but already have a cascading system for canting.
