I refuse to call these boats! They are, in truth, very low flying airplanes. Here’s the American entry for the next Americas Cup “yacht” race.
We saw American Magic being lifted out of the water a few days ago in the Viaduct Harbor, only about a five minute walk from Legacy’s berth. Strange creature!
Not that I’m any expert on these “boats” but I offer this for those that know even less than me. The legs hanging down are foils. The boat rides up out of the water on these bug legs. For us, that would mean Fiji from NZ in one and a half days instead of our usual eight (and these days, twelve and a half days in quarantine instead of five). -Rich
