Banque Populaire 9 First Flight footage by Manu Duclos / Easy Ride
Seeing the efforts of TNZ to serve the Monohull flying fantasy, and comparing what the French designers, builders & sailors are doing puts the new Americas Cup design efforts to a second level or performance, like a B Class. AC50s were top notch along these foiling Tris. TNZ/Prada concept hard to accept, better go with current IMOCA 60s Foilers solutions.
Great shots on this video sent & filmed by Manu Duclos / Easy Ride Videos www.easyridevideos.com . Previous post on BP IX maiden flight here . Specs & foil images here.
