So... T foils or more bow in a longer boat... Oh... you don't say... ISAF choose NEITHER!

I wonder why other classes never thought that marketing crash and burn disaster flicks was the way to grow the sport... they must be stupid or something.


Were you paying attention to one of the greatest America's Cup's ever? (and, no, I'm not talking about the fact that they had foils on the rudders). The boats were on the verge of wiping out and it was exciting.

They were in 20-25knots of breeze in giant surf rounding the top of the course with the crew on the wire. Umm..yeah, they're pushing it probably a little harder than they needed to be. Don't blame the boat.
