A solid wing sail 55 meters tall and bigger than the wing on a 747. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66026-americas-cup/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

So in 20kt they will do 50kt, which is astounding speed in a sailing boat.
