After a long wait and speculation Alnghi has revealed today to some journalist their AC Multihull machine, er.. Catamaran to be more specific!
Way to go Alinghi!
Wave piercing technology will be its main visual modification from Le Black and D35s models.
Personally I don´t like that low volume at the bow, inertia riding downwind is going to be huge.
A little more height would be optimal in that area, from “Alinghi” to bow end.
So the rumor is Oracle will launch a 2nd boat, hope to see two hulls also.
Again, this is going to be sailing event of the century, and for us catsailors, pure joy…
I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
