Paul, can you share the name of the company?
A few people I knew from the UK composites industry were in the talks with Ben Ainslie Racing or BAR (not to be confused with an F1 team with similar name!) when they launched. Some of the big names in F1 like Newey and Whitmarsh are involved with the team and I think they really did a good job of putting together "the dream team", at least in the technical department.
Composite materials aside, I think designing these boats would be really fun, considering you have hydro, ground level and proper aerodynamics all working on the same boat depending on where you look at! It's cool to watch them "winch" the hydraulic pumps too.
