    35th America's Cup on Foils---Oracle

    This sketch may reflect what Oracles canted stb board* looks like based on the way the stb foil looked in the previous post 444.
    See cant in previous picture(canted port foil) and in Drag Race Video(canted stb foil).

    sketch shows stb hull coming at you:

    Americas Cup-First Aerial Video

    This is the film of the 1920's AC-From Scuttlebutt Europe-and Jack Griffin:
    The First America's Cup Aerial Video
    Sir Thomas Lipton came closest to winning the America's Cup in 1920 when Shamrock IV won the first two races. In Race 1, defender Resolute retired after a halyard failed and the jaws of the mainsail gaff broke. At 15 seconds into this video you can see Resolute's mainsail flapping. After losing the first two races, Resolute won three in a row to defend the Cup. Resolute's win marked the sixth time a yacht designed by N.G. Herreshoff and built by Herreshoff Manufacturing defended the America's Cup. -- with a tip of the hat to Jack Griffin
