    Anyone got a set of ballpark numbers for a recent America's Cup Class boat?
    Ballast, Displacement, LWL, Sail area, BWL.....

    Thanks in advance!

    I cant supply the exact figures you wanted but here are some of SUI-64 (relatively recent)...
    SUI 64
    LOA: 25 m
    LWL: 18 m
    Beam: 4 m
    Draft: 4 m
    Sail Area (upwind): 350 m2 – (downwind): 690 m2.
    Displacement: 25 tons.


    Then, on ETNZ's website this is what they give as approximate numbers for an ACC design...

    LOA-24m
    LWL-18m
    Draft-4.1m
    Beam 4.5m
    Mast Height-32.5m
    SA-upwind-320 sq. m
    downwind-480 sq. m

    Weight
    Hull and fittings- 3 tonnes
    Rig-1 tonne
    keel(fin)-1 tonne
    bulb-19 tonnes

    hope this helps.
