Now we are talking, perfect trim for those new amas, no twist…. hmmmm tough call between cat and tri, venue will be key.

James Spithill:
“As we gain more confidence with the boat, we’ll certainly be out there pushing it and seeing what we can get out of it,” Spithill said.“It’s breaking new ground,” says the team’s 30-year-old helmsman. “This has never been done before, so it’s an incredible opportunity for the sailors on both teams, and all the people involved; designers, builders. These boats have the most amazing power-to-weight ratio. There’s nothing else that’s ever been done on this sort of scale.”

Agree 100%, too much speculation going on (including myself) the only true will arise once these two incredible machines match race in February 2010.
