Sailing through the air, America's Cup

The America's Cup sailing competition is pushing the design and materials developments in sailing to amazing new levels.

During the last series we could watch as the crews learned how to jibe and maintain the speed to stay foil bourn throughout the turn.

Now they are learning to complete a tacking maneuver and stay up on the foils. Truly amazing.

We are watching a breakout time in the world of sailing

Anyone else find this interesting?

Cheers Richard
