It will be somewhere between 80 and 100 feet in length.

Ac75 displacement. The AC75 Class rule is very exciting because the design space is really open and theres a lot of time spent at the engineering stage to cater for. L as slack rigging or woollies. As with the AC72 the vexed issue with the Code Zero is that in displacement mode the Extra is required in marginal conditions to get the AC75 up to foiling speed but once the AC75 is up and foiling the sail is an impediment as the apparent wind comes forward very.

AC75 Class Rule 1210 Proposed amendment. This is my ninth Americas Cup and the nature of the game is always to push a bit further with every cycle says Marie. It will allow designers more freedom with the only advanced restrictions intended to ensure that competitors prowess will remain as homogeneous as possible.

Each design team started from a simple box rule with a hull length of 2070 meters a maximum beam of 5 meters a displacement of 76 tons of which there are two weighted foils of 1215 kg each. Amazing the difference in the architectural solutions chosen by the design teams for the first four ac75s launched recently. Or n as the result of an unintended breakdown as determined by the Measurement Committee.

The minimum wind speed of 6-knots should give you a. It will be a displacement monohull that is good for traditional match racing. The 23 m 75 ft monohulls featured wing-like sailing hydrofoils mounted under the hull a soft wingsail and no keel.

The visually diverting aspect of the AC75 is the foil each side which will serve alternately as a hydrofoil generating lift and as a lever producing righting moment. Throughout the race the teams will constantly adapt their sail plan up and down the apparent wind range. On their blank sheet of paper or rather their monitors they started from a rather basic box rule with a hull length of 2070 meters a maximum beam of 5 m a displacement of 76 tons.

M for safety reasons. On November 20th of the same year after debates between potential designers the concept of this monohull - the AC75 - was revealed. The top four metres is known as the Upper Zone and the bottom 15metres is the Lower Zone.
