Today, September 14th, the AC75 flying monsters took off again.
America's cup in Barcelona, Spain.
Foiling monohulls that easily get over 50 knots...

Onboard @ over 50knots



Another nice one

And another very nice close-up video, 1.5 minutes.
Found on reddit under "engineering porn"

There's a great vid of a guy wake boarding off the back of one of them at ridiculous speed

Still finding the SailGP boats more interesting.

Yes, I saw that on IG somewhere. It really shows how fast they are going. Something that big from far away doesn't look like it's doing 50mph but when you're towed behind it and they whip through a turn it looks WAY faster.
