Like Sailing a Potato Chip
by Jake on Feb.18, 2007, under Miscellaneous
A-class catamarans. 165lbs of carbon fiber, foam or balsa core, mylar, polypropylene mesh, and a few fiber reinforced plastic bits of hardware. These single-handed machines will fly and have been compared to sailing a potato chip. They’re so light that they dramatically accelerate in every puff. Be patient through the titles, there’s some good footage in there from last year’s world championships.
