Left: This is what we are going to see in next Americas Cup at SF.
Below: AC72 stills Taken from the Launch video. Check AC72 rudders on 2nd pic and Daggers on the 3rd . This is the same ‘exact’ foil conf the flying AC45 had. If this is the conf they will finally use of course and beyond other additional supertech involved.
So forget about photoshop or not, as we’ve been saying, they will FLY.

Just wondering what is the big blob shape at the bottom of the wing on the first pic. Would those boats require some kind of gyroscope like system to control longitudinal stability?
It's the on board computer, including amongst other a high resolution view of the wind in a 250m square around the boat. It's made by Extens3D.
Its interesting they called her USA-17 which is trhe same name as thier AC33 winning triamarn. Anyone out there can comment?
