    Hi Doug,
    Do you happen have some more photos of this 'center nacelle' on these Am Cup cats ??

    I'm not proposing any type of wave splitting capabilities as I suggested here...

    .
    ...but certainly a back-bone-rib capability...


    or this "Frame Structure for Stiletto 23 Aft-mast Experiment"

    35th America's Cup on Foils! ---ACWS Portsmouth

    This again proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that if these guys want to generate excitement about a foiling America's Cup they damn sure had better figure out alight air foiling configuration for the boats. This is just nutty!!!! Practice Day Highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Xef-H9w7Y
