Wasn't happy when I heard they were retiring the flying catamarans, but I'll give this boat a chance based on the simulation. For the people who want traditional yachts, there's thousands of those races going on all over the world. There's only one event that can even partially financially justify the massive expenditures required for these technological designs. America's Cup needs to continue to push the limits, because if they don't nobody else will.

Epic! Looking forward to watching these boats battle it out.

A Classic stroke of genius to return the America's Cup to the monohull platform, while still retaining the heart and soul of America's Cup as "fast" and tactical, which it truly is about.

Love it! What a concept. Well, it's not a new thought. It's just that we can now build this kind of a design and it works!

Team NZ are relentless innovators! 👍 keep it up fellas!!

That moment you spend months designing a world class boat and all of a sudden everyone else knows more about sailing.....Keep throwing the ball as far as you can ETNZ....Great to see innovation over immitation...

Incredible, innovation and a huge leap forward. C'mon Ben Ainslie & Team BAR #BringTheCupHome

it was February 2000, Luna Rossa was challenging Black Magik in the Gulf of hauraki for the conquest of the America's Cup. Millions of Italians in front of the TV at three o'clock at night, sighing to push the wind on the sails. And in the morning, walking down the street after a sleepless night, when you met someone with your same tired expression, you understood that it was someone like you, a bro of the night crazy for sailing, without needing to say a word, a simple nod of agreement was enough. that was the real America's cup

Fusion between a boat and an edge trimmer. This is the future

Never knew that a production video about a boat could be so intense, Damn .

I thought they might go back to mono hulls, but I wasn't expecting this. I can't wait to see these in the water.

These look spectacular. Quite a step up from foiling Optimists!

Its going to be an exciting race with this new design

I'll admit, I was skeptical about ditching the catamarans. I loved seeing them on the SF bay, and the energy of their competition had me riveted to their sight. This is definitely a radical shift, but it is by no means a full return to the yachts we had before. My only question is how the foil above water might endanger a neighboring crew, I don't think we'll see these getting as close together as we have recently, but that isn't a bad thing.

simply amazing

great boat concept! Love it! :)

Brilliant!

finally, they are developing something for my Laser as well. Thanks ETNZ :). They keep developing technologies mainly for flat/calm waters while in my opinion it would be more entertaining to see some action in "troubled" waters. That would also be more applicable to everyday business . Step by step. Perhaps one day we'll see the AC at Cape Horn.

It's a Ben Hurr race! They also had knives sticking out of their vehicles.

super structure.innovation et technologie .Cela sera dur de naviguer par fort temps.Bravo les concepteurs

This will be.... interesting. I’ve never seen a yacht like this! Seems like they may be trying to create a REALLY HUGE moth. They’ve also maintained the wind design of the blade sail, which I thought they were going to move away from, but I guess it is the most efficient shape for it.

I remember when people used to watch the America’s Cup. It was a great event.

I think it's going to need an additional centerline keel foil ultimately to help with slipping... I like this design though!

As a kid sailing with my Dad off Rhode Island I remember seeing the 12-m Intrepid and other vessels in trials. They were breathtaking and graceful boats. Not really seeing that here - although I do admire the innovative technology and human dedication. Watched the 2010 AC here in San Francisco and it was like a digital rodeo or something.

Watching the old 12m class was like watching paint drying and most of the races were settled in the courts, these new boats are the future.

great design , clearly safety was the drive over the cat - nice job

0:58 "Self Righting" American Magic:

Awesome concept. The only thing I worry about is safety, with those foils sticking out the side - how long will it be before boats get too close and rip each other's foils off (and hopefully not both sink).

A monohull allows a return to true America's Cup tactics. It is the ultimate match race. Well done NZ!

Well done.....

Amazing animation!

Foil control will be interesting in races. Should provide many strategic variations.

Amazing engineering, design and construction.

Why not enjoy the simplicity and imperfection of classic boats? It bestows a greater sense of freedom accepting and enjoy the simple things in life.

Yesss... can't wait.

WOW , NOW THIS WILL BE INTERESTING ,JIEBBING DOWN WIND BOAT ON BOAT, CLOSE TACKING , Be careful very careful. Looks amazing.

Can we get those on a blue water cruiser?

I really hope that main is reefable. Wind limits suck. Also, the spinoff value for other sailing vessels of a viable and adaptable winglike soft sail would be amazing, and rehabilitate the reputation of the AmCup.

Wow!!!!

Awesome and with potentially wider applications with a self-righting design.

There is something about a keel that connects the whole idea. I see racers like this in the 12’ - 22 ft. Fun.

Awesome

Now that the yachts come out of the water, I really like watching this sport. It's much more exciting then what it used to be imo.

Awesome ideas! An offshore capable foiling boat, with a real below decks area, and an engine! On an America's Cup boat! (Gotta have someway to cant the keels.) We are seeing a real evolution in sailing technology, from carbon fiber to canting keels to foils. Nice animation, by the way.

nice graphics, looking forward to seeing a "Real AC75 doing this" ... I did trimaran trifoil designs in 1980 & while I never got to build one it is WONDERFUL TO SEE OTHERS DOING IT! PUSH THE LIMITS!!! Just watch out in tacking duels! (Watch out for "windage" of the flying foil- could be the source of unexpected damage or weight shifts during "gusts and shifting winds". Wind tunnel it!!!!)

Wow, great concept. The multi-hulls quite frankly were already getting tired in the last cup, is time for a change.

hydrofoil sailboat stall speed ?

Is there one sailing yet?

WOW !!!! Another winner here😊for Emirates Team New Zealand 2021 America's Cup💕💕love the design, very impressive💕💕

Is it possible to just use 1 canting foil keel to lift the boat?

That's great but where are the fishing rod holders?

And all those aerofoil wings are controlled or moved by the crew or there are some kind of hyd motors driving taking care of these wings?

Multi hulls or monohulls? Either way, surface skimmers are the way forward

We got to test the capsize

Interesting 👍👍👍

oh man, so excited!!!!

It's 2019 now, did they built it already?

What I love about the America’s Cup is the freedom to exploit technology freely. In its earliest days it used the highest of sailing technology.

Going to be interesting to see how this thing sails in rougher conditions.. Still though, won't mean a thing unless there is an actual contest. Here is to hoping for some solid closely fought battles, otherwise they might as well be in rubber dinghies.

Wow. I am so looking forward to this. Great job by New Zealand. A true step forward.

Are they going to put razors on the leading edge of the t-foils, or will they slice right through the opponent's side-stays without them?

same concept as the Moth, right? (except for the ballasted outriggers)

Wow - this will be amazing!

Thank you Team New Zealand! I hate the fact that my country lost to you this year, but monohulls should be cooler. I loved the fact that you won with such a small budget! Also, duuuh on having your crew pedal to create hydrualic pressure vs grind. Your leg muscles are much bigger than your arm muscles. My boss @ www.katomarine.com won the AC with Dennis Conner driving Stars & Stripes in 1987. Starboard grinder JIm Kavle. He was 2nd in the Star worlds when he met Dennis in Newport where he'd come to recruit crew. Jim trashed both of his shoulders preparing and racing Stars & Stripes. He even had stress fractures in his wrist(s?) before and during the Cup, he just taped the crap out of them until they won, and had surgery or let it heal when he got back home to the Philly PA area after the races. Jim's son Porter is following in his father's footsteps, having won the high school triple handed keel boat national championship in St. Petersburg, FL last weekend. Not some rich, expensive private school either. :) Annapolis High School, a county school that AYC or SSA allows to use their 420's to race in. I've worked with several Kiwis teaching ski school on Mammoth Mountain in CA 2003-2005. Almost all were amazing skiers and very cool guys, really fun to work and party with. :) :) :) If we don't win it back from y'all in 2021, I hope you all win it again.

I love it.

wow some cRazy hitech looking boats

How do you judge windward/leeward fouls when the collision may well be below the surface of the water?

Is sea navigation on a flat level plane?

They knew about hydrofoils for a long time. What had to change was that the materials and mechanism that could hoist the entire boat and crew into the air needed to be made available. So that joint on one of the forward foils and the rudder foil take the entire load.

That was oddly intense music for an anticlimactic vr

What about the wind on the aft going through on the shaft, and the foiling ending up coiling the windward off the port side down the leeway.

Great animation too. One of the best of all Cup animations currently out there.

i dont see any peddles,perhaps less hydraulic pressure needed im not doing the sums so i dont know anyway isnt this the same foil pressure map as the twin hull

The faster you go, the weather foil might create lift to leeward, against the counter weight and the lift of the submerged foil. A self righting 75 footer might put crew in the water at another set of risks other than the initial risk of a boat that big and fast going down.

Very very nice formula!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Compliment to Prada and ETNZ!

So the jibs remain on starboard even after gybing to port ?

We just advance sailing again! ;o) Its a drag race now. Foiling is the new now with excitement. Going where no sailor has gone before. Thanks EmiratesTeamNZ and UKposts.

Bagsie not adjusting anything to leeward when that thing luffs you! Ouch!

Prophetic

The grinders will have to lift the ballasted foil? The should be using both arms and legs then....

Hey, here's an interesting concept. We go back to a 12 metre YACHT, like we raced in Newport R.I. and leave all this hi tech stuff to another class. Race boats not airplanes!

omg that id going to be epic :o

Can not wait

So, the different teams reveal their tech openly now ? Or rather they all agree upon it ? Wasn't too long ago that anything below the waterline (I use the term 'waterline' loosely) was under lock and key . Right ?

I remember when the America's Cup was raced in sailboats.

Si cela tient, il y aura du spectacle !

And today was the day Emirates Team New Zealand won Americas Cup 36

In that movie the sails apparently don't change sides when tacking. Know THAT would be revolutionary.

The music was a deal breaker

I am excited, this is like Shark floating on water!

The windward foil is going to slice someone in half! Don't luff too hard in the prestart, jesus!

We all knew the design concept was going to be a bit alien looking but, this is beyond that. I wonder at what wind speed the boat foils at? 7 knots?

❤❤❤ETNZ TE AIHE; the dolphin👌Bless the Crew who sail on her for the AC 2021.. " "CHEERS" Emirates Team New Zeland❤❤❤Keep the AC here in NZ where it belongs😆😆😆👍👌

That was quite the lee-bow maneuver at 1:55.

So, no close boat to boat action?

ironic that it is the Kiwis that are going to save the America's Cup from itself. Big thank you to the Kiwis.

Am I missing something or did the windward/Starboard boat clearly foul the leeward/S boat at about 1:52? Perhaps not a good idea when the leeward boat is armed with that decap-o-foil. Emirates may have been hunting Prada while P it was on port. But, by 1:52, Prada clearly has born off and is on Starboard. I know it's just a promo video, but it seems like a stupid error.

Still needs cyclors, those foils will be energy intensive

Wow! a monohull cruising along at 22 - 23 knots and almost level?

Oh no... we saw this coming, but just when we get used to cats!?!; at least it looks more like a sailboat. It has a great band.
