The boats in Americans cup, AC75 and AC40
2023-10-24
Auto tradurre:
The AC75 and AC40 represent two distinct classes of racing yachts, each contributing to the diverse landscape of competitive sailing in its own way.
AC75 is used in 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona, while AC40 will be used in the Youth & Puig Women’s America’s Cup, also in Barcelona
AC75: AMERICA'S CUP BOAT
The boats will be a step on from what we saw in Auckland in 2021. The foils will be larger to promote quicker lift and faster flight. The boats will be lighter and, onboard, the electronics and software systems will be vastly upgraded. To save weight, the number of crew on the AC75 has been reduced from 11 to 8.
AC40: YOUTH, WOMEN & TRAINING
AC40 is a class of boats designed for a different competitive context. With a focus on a smaller scale and potentially a more accessible entry point for teams, the AC40 class provides a contrast to the high-stakes, high-tech environment of the America's Cup. It caters to a diverse range of sailors and offers an alternative avenue for racing enthusiasts to engage with the sport.
