New Zealand & BAR Training & Racing the AC45s
Yesterday I sent a Q&A to Pete Melvin, one of the question was specifically about the performance gain of the aero package, I guess with current BAR & TNZ status on their ‘turbo’ addons we will find out (maybe) if the oracle & Artemis Aero packages/beam placement mods will have have an edge on a more Spartan AC45 BAR & TNZ 45s. … or sailors can even that design gap on pure sailing skills. Interesting Series coming next weeks.
