Nigel Irens discussing multihull development

An interesting proboat article where Nigel Iren's discusses what has been discovered in the design of high speed racing multihulls and power multihulls. Not a recent article but the first time I've seen it, good read.

Great stuff- thanks Corley!

 

Another thanks... and I really enjoyed about his views of cruising monos

 

Corley,

Thanks again, can you find something 10 years newer?

 

There are a few articles around but nothing quite as comprehensive as the proboat interview. Here is one on designing a boat for "The Race"

also an interview prior to the Deed of Gift America's Cup Match discussing possible scenarios between the two competitors.

I'm sure I've read some articles about the boat mentioned in the article but cant seem to find them now.
