Americas Cup AC40's

These boats to be used for the next Women’s and Youth America's Cup. The New Zealand 🇳🇿 boat below is foiling without sails, going to be hard to beat.

@KiwiBird So, going through the specs it's got enough power for a half an hour.

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Tastyfrzz Well a range of 180 km which I assume is enough for a single AC race which I s of course what they are designed for.

Looks more like an aeroplane than a boat! Very impressive. Good luck!

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@ninalanyon Actually the helmsman in the last AC in the NZ team got his pilots licence as part of his training.

What powers it? Never mind. Hydrogen.

sarabee1995 · 26-30, F

@Tastyfrzz Well, the AC40's and the eventual AC75's are powered by the wind. The tow boat just out of frame in this picture is powered by hydrogen.

How ?

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Barny52 Kiwi ingenuity.

Barny52 · 56-60, M

@KiwiBird very clever not using sails or a motor unbeatable

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Barny52 Brand new design and sea trials have just begun. It is under tow. (Don't tell anyone)
