6/7 Modern #NavalArch on the AC75 aims for drastic aero-drag reduction. In Auckland, foiling through coastal puffs with total stability proves that flight algorithms now fully compensate for micro-pressure variations.

America's Cup: Recon Diary - Excellent foiling conditions for extended Day 2 Emirates Team New Zealand had their second training session, under ideal sailing/foiling conditions on Monday. All crew except Andy Maloney (s'bd trimmer) rotated. The extended session finished at 182...

7/7 Conclusion Tech : #Taihoro n'est plus un voilier, c'est un processeur flottant. La répétabilité des manœuvres (100% de réussite) marque la fin de l'aléa sportif au profit de la rigueur industrielle. La Coupe se gagnera sur l'efficience du vol. 🏁 #NavalArch

The Maxi Banque Populaire 15 - a new Ultim for 2029 It is with pride that the Bank of Sailing is launching, for the ninth time in its history, the construction of a new boat, an Ultim trimaran to be christened ''Maxi Banque Populaire 15,'' with Armel L...

6/6 Macro Stakes: With BP 15, Banque Populaire reaffirms 40 years of sporting sovereignty. From the 2030 Route du Rhum to the Jules Verne Trophy, this giant serves as a lab for future naval architecture and aerodynamic flow optimization. 📈 #OffshoreRacing #NavalArch

3/5 Tech Focus: The Figaro 3 is a One-Design boat.
💡 One-Design: Every boat is strictly identical. Victory isn't won through naval architecture but through sail trim, routing precision, and the skipper's sheer stamina. #NavalArch #WorldSailing

2/5 La "Grande Course" (240 milles) a tenu ses promesses. Entre le Raz de Sein et le golfe de Gascogne, les marins ont affronté une mer forte et un vent soutenu. Dans ces conditions, la maîtrise du Figaro 3 et de ses foils est un sport de combat. 🌊 #Sailing #NavalArch

2/5 Her weapon of choice? The Nacra 15. This catamaran is a foiling machine designed to fly above the water.
💡 Foil: A hydrofoil wing that generates lift, drastically reducing drag and allowing for extreme speeds. #NavalArch #BlueTech

2/5 Le support de prédilection ? Le Nacra 15. Ce catamaran est un "petit" bolide à foils permettant de voler au-dessus de l'eau.
💡 Foil : Appendice profilé immergé qui génère une force de portance, réduisant la traînée pour maximiser la vitesse. #NavalArch #BlueTech

2/5 "These boats lose the helm when they're too loaded." In 4m swells, the FB3 proved relentless: no autopilot, no sleep. A brutal technical reality highlighting the extreme physical demands of foiling one-design racing. #NavalArch #FigaroBeneteau

2/5 « Ces bateaux perdent la barre lorsque c’est trop chargé. » Dans 4m de houle, le FB3 a montré ses limites : pilote inopérant, repos impossible. Une réalité technique brutale qui rappelle l'exigence physique extrême de la monotypie à foils. #NavalArch #FigaroBeneteau

2/5 ⛵ The Figaro Beneteau 3 is the world's first production foiling monohull. This 10.85m one-design class ensures a level playing field where only the skipper's skill and tactical depth determine the VMG (Velocity Made Good). #NavalArch #OneDesign
