: I knew there had to be a kayak connection somewhere in this. The
: winner of the last little America's cup, 'Alpha' was designed by
: Steve Killing who is also the designer for Bear Mountain boats.
: The little America's Cup has a much more Corinthian spirit. The
: competitors actually talk to each other offering advice and help
: when needed. They have advanced the sport in many ways from hull
: shapes to wing masts - now used on the big boats.

What still amazing to me is a 25' boat, 14' wide with a 300 square ft. wing sail and it weighs 360 lbs. complete. Pretty good trick :)
