Going to Bermuda this year.
Saw the AC 72 class in 2013. It is unbelievable how fast upwind the hydrofoiling boats can go. I am a fan still of the 12 metre class, the one that Dennis Conner won back the Cup in the 80's. I still like them. I quess that's why I still like air cooled motors. Here is a link to the last Cup race which America's entry won after losing the first 8 races. If you like fast things then thought I'd share Here is a link: https://youtu.be/QHdmviq1kyg |
