..these are just my ideas....please comment..
1. A c will not go back to non foil design..
..in fact i predict bow foils to stabilize the platform
..ORACLE being a technology firm will introduce more systems.
....these boats may evolve to DRONE-LIKE CONTROLS...
...someone onshore watching data readouts will control the foils and sail
..much pressure to abandon design,..REMEMBER THE STP TURBINE INDY CAR?...THE POWERS TO BE MADE IT DISAPPEAR,..YES?WE ALL KNOW THE OLD-SCHOOL Y.C. TYPE..BLUE BLAZERS AND ALL!
..BUT IT WAS VERY EXCITING!NOEW IS THEY CAN KEEP THE CREW FROM FALLING OFF THE DARN BOAT!DID'NT HOBIE MAKE A trifoiler,.a few years back?what happened to that?
