Take a closer look at the technology and design rules that allow the AC75 to flySUBSCRIBE to the official Americas Cup channel.

Ac75 hull design. Sails provide power foils the lift which makes the hull the third critical leg of the AC75. Inside the AC75s hull is an intricate web of hydraulic pumps tubes valves and rams that allow the sailors to make micro adjustments using programmable logic controllers to manipulate the. The hull very wide at the aft end with a fairly round hull adheres before take-off and slams during water landings.

In the Scow corner you have INEOS Team UK and American Magic while in the Skiff corner we have ETNZ and Luna Rossa. Ralph HewittTeam INEOS UK Four AC75s have now been launched and each of these brand. With the newly created AC75 for the 36th Americas Cup.

It is quite easy from the outside to assume that there is still plenty of time before the Americas Cup in 2020 rolls around but in truth with one AC75 launching in 2019 and the next in time for the Cup in 2020 design for the main hull at least needed to be finalised recently. 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 including two foils with ballast weighing 1215 kilos each and a few contingencies. On Thursday 19th November Emirates Team New Zealand were the last team to launch their second AC75 the boat on which the Kiwis will defend the 36th Americas Cup over the period March 6 to 21 2021Three weeks before the start of the Americas Cup World Series in Auckland Tip Shaft interviewed Martin Fischer co-design coordinator at Luna Rossa Challenge and Benjamin Muyl chief.

The design of the AC75 is already well underway. The initial AC75 hull designs fell into two basic types. Very soon it became obvious to add a central edge to soften the hulls fall in the water.

Amazing the difference in the architectural solutions chosen by the design teams for the first four ac75s launched recently. The hull design is one aspect of many. Emirates Team New Zealand last week revealed the prototype test jig for the AC75 foil cant system that will be used to control the composite foil arms that will essentially lift the foiling 75 foot monohulls out of the water to fly around Aucklands Waitemata Harbour in 2021.

This is the AC75 the class of boat. The differences between the two AC75 hulls do not stop there with the two design teams taking significantly contrasting approaches on the underwater profiles of their AC75s as well. Since the initial launch INEOS appear to be the only team to have made use of the opportunity to reconfigure their hull.
