Oracle AC72 ready to hit the Bay …again

Edit: Checking the other pics it seems the beams are the same, at least the front one. —I can see changes on the central pod, both beams are higher/ more robust than the eliptical originals, that will definitely  reduce that scary flex. These changes are a huge signal that the pitch wasn´t a helm-crew error, you don´t have to be a genius a la Juan K or Fischer to see that something was wrong with that soft platform, and  I bet boat #2 will have more volume. Beyond details, good to have them ready to fight, no doubt they are stronger team now —
