This is an excellent insight into the technology that surrounds the Little America's Cup and the C-Class Catamarans. Now imagine if we were able to take a budget like this and apply it in more extreme conditions? Imagine North Sails ThinPlyTechnology applied to boards or Foils? Imagine a kite that held 50 PSI in the leading edge instead of 12 PSI? Or if the Kite was made from North Sails 3DI Technology. Onboard Vesper or onboard any high level sailing program you will see a computer down below running constantly. But no longer is it just for Navigation. It's crunching numbers, analyzing data and spitting out performance polars constantly, this can and most likely will be applied to more extreme aspects of our sport and will increase the performance in all areas, not just racing. This is the future and it's coming...FAST
