50 footers and not nearly as fast, they are way faster that the 72's around the course.
seems that the rig and hulls are not as important as the foils
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.
