The AC45's are containerable already. The back 5' of the stern unbolts from the hulls so they can fit in containers.

what would the extra 5 feet of LWL contribute to a foiling boat? besides cost and complexity?

rig dimensions.

I guess that's Falcone

It would be a good idea to E-mail NBC and tell them how much you enjoyed the coverage. Drop down box select "other" leave comment. http://www.nbc.com/contact/general/

This explains everything.

GOOD CALL!
done

Dropped a note of thanks to NBCSN

Man - no racing today.... Bummed. lol

Little America's Cup sailed this AM.

FYI, while I was in SF, I got to flip through this book. It looked like it was very well put together and is going to make an excellent addition to my sailing coffee table books!

Christmas is just around the corner!

Tad, I'll gift you the book for Christmas if you gift me the Red Epic.

Philip: too late - my book is on the truck for delivery right now.

Hey the Rolex Big Boat series starts in SFO Bay today! Wouldn't it be great if NBCSC would just stick around for a couple days and cover some of that? Kenny and Garry would then know what the Fark they were looking at, and what tactics the racers should be using!

But after watching the AC boats going around the bay at 40 knots, I'll bet even those two would be saying, "Ahhh man, these things are sooo slowww!"

I swear if I had to hear Gary say, "There's nothing in it." one more time, I was going to have Ding kick him in the nads!

There is a neat multihull class.

Extreme 40 SmartRecruiters

Lightspeed 32r BMW Yachtsport

ProSail 40 Shadow

SL33 BridgeRunner

Marstrom 32 Gradient Vee

MOD 70 Orion and/or SIG 45 Vamonos!

Where did you find that?

I have a list of words I never want to hear in relation to sailing ever again. Pretty much, any time Spithill has opened his mouth in any interview after nearly being flushed. Basically, replay his answer to Matt Lauer's question (or anyone else) when he asked what they changed about the boat.

Here's a hint:

Adversity
Barrel of a gun

Well, you get the idea...

Mike

None of the people who interviewed Spithill know anything about sailing!
Wish someone had asked Spithill what he thought of the nationality question.

Did anyone else catch the time they showed about 3 of the oracle sailors pissing off the side of the boat?

I bet Karl L. was driving.
