Concept drawings for the next America’s Cup boat have been released<\/p>\n
Concept drawings for the new 75ft monohull that will contest the 36th America’s Cup in 2021 have been announced by the defender, Emirates Team New Zealand.<\/p>\n
The new class will be a foiling monohull on two large canting T-foils and a single T-foil rudder lifting the boat out the water and has been welcomed by Land Rover BAR team principal and skipper, Sir Ben Ainslie.<\/p>\n
“The Defender, Emirates Team New Zealand and the Challenger of Record, Luna Rossa have delivered a truly high-performance boat that will make the next America’s Cup an incredible sporting and technical challenge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can’t wait to start tackling the design and engineering challenges in this new class.\u201d<\/p>\n
The concept shows the boat able to right itself in the event of a capsize and roll stability at low speed.<\/p>\n
Emirates Team New Zealand says another underlying principle has been to provide affordable and sustainable technology \u2018trickle down\u2019 to other sailing classes and yachts, a factor that the previous multihulls did not provide.<\/p>\n
“This new class is a real challenge for our design and sailing team. It’s also a great opportunity,\u201d added Land Rover BAR’s CEO, Grant Simmer.<\/p>\n
\u201cA new class of boat means a blank sheet of paper and while we can use much of what was learned in AC35 about systems, foils and the associated design and engineering, there’s also a great opportunity to take a jump ahead if we get the conceptual approach right from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n
Research work is ongoing and details will be released with the AC75 class rule before March 31 2018.<\/p>\n
