First photo I've seen of a new-gen AC75: Pro-Set named official materials supplier for New York Yacht Club American Magic...
Whether it's relevant to this thread is debatable, so I'll post this both here and to an America's Cup thread. This is the first photo I've seen...
Very helpful, thank you, Phil! Ad Hoc, just asking you to think about what Phil is saying where I quoted him in post #55, and loosen up a little....
Are you reading this, AdHoc?
Thanks for joining the discussion, Phil. If you'd like to help write up a more specific Statement of Requirements than what I've proposed thus...
Thank you, AdHoc; hopefully I've made some progress on that (made an edit to my answer on range Feb. 25, 2024 @ post #46). Thank you for posting...

It makes sense for foilers to have nicely optimized semi-displacement hulls for the transition speeds: The Spirit Foiler | Wooden Boat...
Thank you for the reference, Baeckmo. I'm very aware of the work of the van Oossanen's, both father & son, but have not come across much on...
Well, that's why I'm starting with the idea we evaluate existing boats. The Clara clearly has a high length to displacement ratio, but probably...
My intent is for this to be a group project in which there are people (was hoping you'd be one of them Jurgen) who would propose designs, and...
That's true, I have not. What approach do you think we should take to that, Jurgen? Perhaps we determine the diesel range of the Oldport, then...
