Monohulls


Recommended Posts

they need 20knots wind to go almost as fast as the cats

 

going to be interesting to see;

 

- where the race course is

 

- when the races are scheduled

 

- what the wind ranges are

 

- how often then pig around in displacement mode, dragging lifting foils in suboptimal winds

 

- or if they can somehow magic them into flying in 6knts of breeze...

I don't care if the breeze never gets to the point of getting them to foil.  Some comment has it that the 2 hour races in monohulls were boring.  They weren't for me. At least I could relate to the boats.  The cats had nothing for the average sailor.  There were 2 or 3 guys actually sailing, and no chance of any trickle down from the technology.  Yes, it was exciting, but was it sailing?  All those skills we'd developed over a thousand years like having a top bowman were suddenly redundant. I'm super excited, can't wait.
