These cats are what, 45 feet long?

And they are making nearly the same speeds as the 72' cats from 3 years ago!

Wow.

It used to be that a longer waterline made for a faster boat, but once they get up on the foils I guess it comes down to weight and sail area for determining max speed. Foil mechanics and control are becoming more important than waterline length.
