Super link. The technology is out of this world. The guy with the back pack to monitor everything through special glasses is right out of Star Trek. 230' mast and sail / wing is unheard of. How would you like to have a ride on the US boat? Hanging out on the outrigger going 20+knots 40 to 50 feet in the air. Just think of the money that was spent on those boats. Great to watch.
