  1. 1. The next AC will be raced in

    • Giant multihulls - it's too late to turn back

God I hope it is in Multis.

 

I know all the reasons that match racing is better in slow monos, but that was never what the AC was all about. It's about a technological race to create the fastest boat possible.

 

And if you want to do that you build a multi. Its like the difference between F1 and The Mini Challenge, sure the minis have the closest racing, they are joined by a string, but it is F1 which comes up with all the development and breakthroughs. And being a specticle many times more desireable to watch.

 

If you want brilliant match racing there is any amount of it all around the world all in identical boats, but if we want to put sailing in front of more people lets keep the giants.
