"Almost incomprehensibly, Oracle then let him go. Team NZ made an offer and Melvin is in San Francisco with the Kiwis' huge design team as they work on enhancements to make their AC72 go even faster.

"Even in our own team, we had quite a debate about it [foiling]," says Melvin. "I guess some teams first thought they wouldn't be able to achieve stability and would just be wasting a lot of time."

He says teams are experimenting cautiously "as they don't want to spend too much time chasing rainbows. We are experimenting with it, so are Oracle and even Luna Rossa and we are making some ground.""

$.02 from the peanut gallery:
Why doesn't Chris Draper get up on ETNZ for the start? It's like they don't learn.

New Zealand is going to win this thing after mastering multihulls like no one ever has. Just so they can return to lead sleds. That would be a sad, sad day for sailing.

I wouldn't bet on NZL leaving the multihulls behind.

Chris Draper . . ."No worries mate, I got this, I'll just slide this beast into position."
Video positioned at proper time.
and again . . .
Brilliant, lucky? who knows but it's got the cool factor.
Imagine the loads on the rudders with that maneuver.
