The America's Cup is running. It's amazing to watch 7 ton AC72 catamarans lift out of the water onto the Rear Hydrofoil and then do a Ballerina Dance on one or both front (Right/Left) winglets are lowered into the water using hydraulic daggerboards.

The Sails are Solid, shaped like an aircraft wing giving lift, not a Fabric Sail.
