The new AC33 rule has recently been released.
Do you agree with me that it looks very much like a modern IOM class radio yacht?
Heres an idea.:graduate: Instead of spending 50million dollars each on developing and building a whole new fleet of these craft, why not spend say only one million each and develop and build within the IOM class and race the Americas Cup with these smaller but similar looking craft. :devil3::lol:
AC33 rule announced 85ft long by 15ft wide - America’s Cup design entered the 21st century The rule for the boat to compete in the AC33 has been announced. The rule has come about through consultation between the Defender, the Challenger of Record and the 17 other entered teams, the process headed by Tom Schnackenberg, the class rule and competition regulations consultant for AC Management. Designers and team managers from the 19 America’s Cup syndicates met regularly in Geneva, Switzerland, and Valencia, Spain, since the design process began in early November 2008.
