Instead of a keel it has two canting.

Ac75 gybe. It shouldnt be quite as bad as a couple of races in Bermuda when the AC50s were gybing through 220degrees -but you will see some of that trying to build speed out of a gybe for sure. Burling praised the design bosses of the AC75 class for the boats resilience with the latest sudden stop coming at around 35 knots. He added that generally an AC75 would come out of a gybe at around 130 degrees to the true wind.

We got a little too high in the gybe and stopped pretty. The AC75 will foil-tack and foil-gybe with only small manoeuvring losses and given the speed and the ease at which the boats can turn the classic pre-starts of the Americas Cup are set to make an exciting comeback. Leaving the dock in the Wynyard Marina at 1100 am an hour after Emirates Team New Zealands Te Aihe the American Magics first AC75 Defiant set up off Browns Island in the area of Americas Cup Course C.

That is effectively a. American Magics AC75 Defiant performed some spectacular gymnastics on Monday - when training in winds well above the racing limit. The double skinned mainsail does lose a little power but the helmsman can correct the situation putting the bow down to 140 degrees to rebuild power and boat speed.

Sail handling will also become important with cross-overs to code zero sails in light wind conditions. We have placed an e-grinder on the boat explained skipper Ben Ainslie. Smooth and consistent power delivery from the grinders is the key to keeping your AC75 aloft and that took a bit of a Harken rethink.

Sail handling will also become important with cross-overs to code zero sails in light wind conditions. In the case of the AC75 we would expect to double the Vampires speed 4 which is almost exactly what happens. Sail handling will also become important.

The Americas Cup is a match race and creating a class that will provide challenging match racing has been the goal from the start. A video clip for a Monday. The AC75 will foil-tack and foil-gybe with only small manoeuvring losses and given the speed and the ease at which the boats can turn the classic pre-starts of the Americas Cup are set to make an exciting comeback.
