ORMA 60 minimum crew: 1. VO70 minimum crew: 11.

The VO70 needs to run the engine to change the cant of the keel. The engine does not run continuously but the boat can not tack, jibe or "change...

But average speeds are still significantly higher for the multis. For similar length designed for similar service the results suggest 20+ percent advantage to the multis over the canters. I'm not...

There are plenty of regattas out there. The med cup has most of the AC players in it and the racing is in well matched boats... TV ratings are? I don't think that fleet racing is the answer. It...

Works for me.



But to be fair the canting keel monos will have multihull like performance and would easily sail in excess of "hull" speed much of the time. Also, it was the cat, not the tri...

Maybe, there is very close racing in the beach cat development classes (F16&18's) and even in the wide open A class. I think that it is unlikely that the racing will be great on the version one...

Hey, it started as a contest between "billionaires'" (inflation adjusted) -- didn't need to evolve at all :).

I prefer multi's but that is a just a matter of taste -- I don't suspect they'd be...

I'm not sure about that. For me the most photogenic of the AC's was the 87 cup in Perth because of the dramatic sea conditions. Certainly the match racing is interesting. However just because we...

The AC is always just two boats -- one defender and one challenger. There may be a defenders and challenger series and/or "acts" though and they can be fun. FWIW, I'm a sailor and I found the boats...

Seems unlikely that sailing TV will take the world by storm. Still, there's a TV niche for snooker... The question for me is will folks who cruise or sail the occasional PHRF race be interested...

They are uploading the rushes to youtube from time to time:
YouTube - 34thAC's Channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/34thAC)
I find they work better for me than the streaming video.

Sorry about...
