Adrenaline required BBY
"Imagine taking your Camaro, and taking the 300-horsepower motor out and putting a 3,000-horsepower motor in the same car," "That’s what these guys do every day." At 43 knots, the catamaran can sail its entire 72-foot length in a single second — nearly four times faster than the 2007 class. The massive sail generates 7 tons of force, lifting the hull out of the water until the boat’s only connection to the water is a thin hydrofoil known as a daggerboard. Sailors on the Oracle crew say the experience of being on an AC72 as it flies up out of the water is exhilarating.

The Denis Sullivan is a schooner that is based off the ones that plied the great lakes trade routs. She is a fine looking vessel under sail.

The French Frigate Hermione replica is another one of my favorites. I have a love for frigates in particular and this one is a beauty.
The replica of the HMS Endeavor is another one that is rather easy on the eyes. Last edited by U505995; 12-03-15 at 12:14 PM. |
