At last the AC guys finally understand why we sail multihulls!
They need to practice the fly by a bit more tho'. they could really have put the wind up those tourists if they tried a bit harder

The guys on the leaner should have been yelling, "Two hull it!!"

i think the rig can cant enough that even with the centre hull flying the mast is still vertical

wonder how long it takes to go from 1 cant to the other in a tack......presumable they start pulling it in long before the tack

I expect they let out the windward shroud, take up the slack on the lee side, and then tack. That way, the mast is canted to windward without having to fight the wind to get it there.

yeah, the current campaigns are definitely not worth that much. some estimates are that they are actually cheaper than the last AC campaigns...one boat, one crew, no challenger series, shorter lead-up, reduced unit material costs* = reduced campaign costs. the only things that would go against that is possibly more materials and increased legal bills, but that's the game.

* - obtaining carbon that meets the exact maximum material properties allowed in the old AC rules can cost more than just buying the top of the line carbon off the shelf.

Here's the Larry profile from Forbes last year:

Net Worth $27.0 billion
Age 64
Marital Status Married, 2 children, 3 divorces
Source Oracle Corporation (quote: ORCL), Software, Self made
Hometown Redwood City, CA, United States
Education University of Illinois, Drop Out

... Owns 453-foot Rising Sun; built a smaller leisure boat (Ronin - 192 feet) because superyacht is hard to park. Squabbling in court with Swiss boating billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli over terms of next America's Cup. Recently unveiled hulking 90-foot trimaran he intends to use to win it.

[Linked Image]
The 192-foot Ronin. Owned by Larry Ellison. Based at Sausalito.

Larry Ellison's Ronin, usually the largest private yacht on the bay when she's here. Originally named Izanami, until too may people pointed out what that spelled when reversed. 12,000 horsepower.

[Linked Image]
Rising Sun is the 6th largest in the world with a length of almost 138 meters (453 ft). It reportedly cost over US$200 million to build. It is equipped with:

* Four MTU 20V 8000 M90 diesel engines giving an output of 36,000 kW (50,000 hp)
* Four propellers that enable it to reach a cruising speed of 28 knots (52 km/h)
* 82 rooms on five stories with a total living area said to be in excess of 8,000 square meters
* Onyx countertops
* Jacuzzi bathrooms
* A gymnasium/spa and sauna
* An extensive wine cellar
* A master bath/bedroom
* A private cinema with a giant plasma screen
* 3,300 m² of teak-layered deck space
* A basketball court on the main deck (can be used as a helicopter pad if necessary)

Go to Google Maps and enter Mountain Home Road, Woodside, CA. Find the Mountain Home Road, Shadowbrook Lane intersection. Just to the North East there's a man made lake. If the wind is right you can fly a hull past Larry's house.

I agree on the boats but wouldn't it be fun to do a screaming reach by the house? Kinda like streaking back in the '80s.
