South Carolina | oh lord. That's insane. Assuming it increases the speed, it's going to add a whole new dimension to racing these as they will now slow down so much in the turn (or...I assume they will).
The C-class experience to date didn't show much promise with lifting foils on a catamaran - but their horsepower is limited. Maybe with the additional headsails and such, this will make sense. That looks wicked fast.

| Does the board have enough volume to build in controls, like on an airplane?
