Perhaps but not all 'new' things last or displace others- Edsels, New Coke,
push button transmissions in cars, self-cleaning bathrooms, are a few that come
to mind.
OTOH, the foiling cats are great fun to watch in anticipation of a crash of
some sort--sort of like Formula-1 or NASCAR. However, IMHO I doubt many
sailors, even racers, would actually try to 'sail' a foiler, let alone buy one!
But to each his own!

I bet that is similar to what was said 1900's when the America Cup boats went
to cross cut sails and the Marconi rig. Then again when they went from the 12
meters to the IACC boats, never mind the foiling cats. "just saying" own

{} #yiv9504981497 I too like the 12 meters, but I would like the cup to revert
to J-Class boats even more. Catamarans with wing sails just don’t do anything
for me. (thread creep – when I was at flight school someone combined an old
Hobie Cat and a wing from the aircraft junkyard into an early version of one of
these LOL ) Joe Coquina From: CnC-List

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Stus-List AC75 boats The Parker Hannifin Division
that I retired from was making aircraft grade axial piston pumps for the last
AC boats. We provided electric motor pumps for the practice boats but the race
boats are mechanically driven. The hydraulics were for the foils and winches.
The grinders are actually driving the two speed pumps.a I retired just before
we delivered the race units.
The previous division that I worked for also made Electro Hydraulic Servo
Valves (EHSV) for formula 1 race cars to control suspension and fuel delivery.
Interesting work but I still prefer the old 12 meters and actually having to
sail the boat.
