here's a really nice summary of the various states of the teams...and foiling. As per Loick Peyron (always colorful), the bearaways in the bay may produce some moments where you would be glad to be wearing brown pants....

OK, spy photos have captured the stunning new hull design! The Black Boat is only a diversion to mask the REAL new hull which can be seen in just a fleeting glimpse at 1:04 in this video. Which of you can identify this radical new hull design?

1:04 looks like the wing caddy/cart to me.

Looks like the team has secretly enlisted the powers from Gotham City. (hint 2:12 in video)

They have already nick-named it the bat boat.

Amazing. What does the keel-thingey do?

Or not. I mean the big solid looking structure along the center line. Strong back?

Pretty cool . . . and smart. The "L" part of the board is a cassette and is interchangeable for different size/shape inserts. Wonder if the Kiwis did something similar.

It is to keep the air from going under the wing. The wing is going to be very close to the tramp at some point.
