WING MASTS

The roots of modern wing masts rests firmly in the "C" class catamaran. These boats will be in Newport at the end of August. The technology used in the most recent America's Cup came from what had been learned sailing C cats. Of course the scale changed the physics dramatically.

I should add that this is the same Paul Larsen that has been developing Sailrocket

Finally I have added a clip of the big oracle trimaran, which was truly a remarkable feat.
