THE BOATS: AC75, AC40 & LEQ12Although foiling feels like a recent revolution to take the world of watersports by storm, it has been at the heart of America's Cup racing for over 10 years. It was August 2012 when the sailing world was turned upside down by a 72-foot catamaran flying in the Hauraki Gulf. Emirates Team New Zealand had brought foils to the America's Cup, changing the face of top-level yacht racing forever. Six years later, in 2018, the publication of the AC75 Class Rule marked the beginning of a new sailing era. The engineering and sailing techniques needed to get the AC75 to fly completely differed from anything seen before. During the 36th America's Cup in 2021, the AC75 proved themselves to be unique and kept millions of fans worldwide glued to their screens. It was then no surprise that the organisers were keen to continue with the AC75 rule for the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona, albeit with several improvements to promote faster flight and incorporate upgraded technology. But the organisers went further. With a focus on youth and women being paramount to growing the sport into the future, a new class of boats was introduced–the AC40–specifically for this purpose. As the smaller sister-ship of the AC75, the AC40 launched in Auckland to much acclaim with speeds hitting the "high 40s" almost immediately straight out of the box under the skillful command of Emirates Team New Zealand in September 2022. AC75: AMERICA'S CUP BOATOn the 15th of November 2021, eight months after the Kiwis successfully defended the America's Cup, an updated 'Version 2' of the AC75 Class Rule was released. The boats will be a step on from what we saw in Auckland in 2021. The foils will be larger to promote quicker lift and faster flight. The boats will be lighter and, onboard, the electronics and software systems will be vastly upgraded. To save weight, the number of crew on the AC75 has been reduced from 11 to 8. The move to reduce the crew means cycle power is again legalised, and the cyclors, introduced by Emirates Team New Zealand in 2017, might return to the game. Several of the elements are strict one-design, such as the mast, rigging, foil cant-arms and cant hydraulics but the scope for design elsewhere is broad. To keep costs under control, it was also determined that teams would only be allowed to build one AC75 so the demand on getting the design right is at a premium. The boats will be expected to fly at speeds touching 50 knots in winds that average 12 knots in late summers in Barcelona. AC40: YOUTH, WOMEN & TRAININGNew for the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup, the AC40 is a multi-use foiling monohull that all the confirmed teams will use for sailing and testing purposes. The AC40 is also the nominated boat for both the UniCredit Youth & Puig Women’s America’s Cup events where they will be sailed in strict one-design. The confirmed teams will also use the AC40 in competitive events leading up to the America’s Cup and several of the teams have two boats on order. The AC40 is being built by McConaghy’s in China. The foils and systems are being delivered by the Emirates Team New Zealand North Shore Facility and delivered in strict order of entry to the America’s Cup. Teams may modify and test out componentry on the AC40, and for this purpose, they will be deemed as a LEQ12 (see below), but for competition purposes in the UniCredit Youth & Puig Women’s America’s Cup, they will be returned to one-design according to strict rules around those specific events. Early trials of the AC40 by Emirates Team New Zealand have been sensational with speeds recorded in the ‘high-40-knot’ bracket and it is anticipated that this new class will form a global circuit both before and after the America’s Cup. For the UniCredit Youth & Puig Women’s America’s Cup, aside from the confirmed entries from the America's Cup syndicates, yacht clubs from around the world are being invited to form teams on a strict one-nation, one-entry basis and the finals of the youth and women’s events are scheduled on key dates of both the Louis Vuitton Cup (Challenger Selection Series) and Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup Match dates. LEQ12: TESTING ONLYEntrants for the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup are required to build one AC75 and purchase at least one AC40 but within the rules there is also the opportunity for teams to build one, new, test boat with the stipulation that it must be ‘Less than or Equal to 12 metres in overall length.’ The term LEQ12 was thus coined and it’s a nod to a well used term in computing ‘LEQ’ and was the most accurate description of the vessel. To date, two teams have built dedicated LEQ12s–INEOS Britannia and Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli–and these boats are loaded with sensors, cameras and measuring devices in order that the design team can collate data and calibrate their design software packages in a real-world environment. For the sailors too, it is an opportunity to hone monohull foiling techniques and have the ability to try new sailing styles as well as test new componentry in a relatively controlled environment, and with far fewer consequences than trialling something new on a powerful AC75 at full scale. The two specifically built LEQ12s to date are notably different in design with the Italian LEQ12 being of similar design to the winning ‘Te Rehutai’ of Emirates Team New Zealand during the 36th America's Cup whilst the British LEQ12 is a more extreme design to give a baseline of validation to the INEOS Britannia design team that is supported by Mercedes F1 Applied Science. How many new AC75s can a team buildWhen agreeing on the new format for the 37th America’s Cup, the Defender and the Challenger of Record were determined to keep a lid on costs and deliver a sustainable event that could attract additional entries without a very high financial barrier to entry. During the 36th America's Cup, teams were allowed to build two AC75s but in the final Protocol for the 37th America's Cup, it was agreed that teams could only build one AC75 to compete in the America’s Cup in Barcelona. The introduction of the AC40 class allowed for teams to purchase these for either two-boat training or as test boats and a further concession was permitted in that teams could build one specific LEQ12 for testing and training purposes. By implementing the one-boat build rule for the 37th America's Cup, a high premium is placed on getting the final design right as there is little opportunity to change the fundamental design of the boats after launch. The world’s greatest naval architects, designers and engineers have been employed by all the teams with several partnering with complementary sports engineering functions such as Red Bull Advanced Technologies and Mercedes F1 Applied Science. The design race for the Cup is therefore, as intense as ever. Can older AC75s be used and/or modified?The first-generation AC75s that were used at the 36th America's Cup in 2021 may be used for training purposes by all of the confirmed teams in the run-up to the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup in Barcelona. To date, two teams–American Magic and Alinghi Red Bull Racing–have opted to re-launch these first-generation boats and use them as test boats and in the case of Alinghi Red Bull Racing, the Swiss who were not present during the 36th America's Cup, purchased Emirates Team New Zealand’s first boat ‘Te Aihe’ to train in Barcelona. There are, however, strict rules on developing these first-generation boats with the number of foil wings, flaps, rudders, foil arms, masts, hull surfaces and sails being strictly limited. This could well be the reason why the other teams have elected to develop LEQ12s or to adapt their AC40s into LEQ12s, as is the case with Emirates Team New Zealand, where the limits on componentry and testing are far less stringent, affording more scope for design development and analysis. When does an AC40 become an LEQ12?As mentioned above, in relation to the AC40, these boats are delivered in one-design format, but some teams may elect to take them out of one-design to test out componentry, and in this case, those AC40s will be deemed as ‘LEQ12s’ until returned to one-design configuration again. Change anything on your AC40 outside of the very strict class rules on componentry, and it becomes a LEQ12. In order for it to be used in the planned pre-regattas or the UniCredit Youth & Puig Women’s America’s Cup events it must be returned to the agreed one-design. Immediately after the necessary commissioning process of the very first AC40 that was delivered to Emirates Team New Zealand in September 2022, the team made changes to the cockpit configuration and specific controls that the crew use; This immediately converted the Emirates Team New Zealand AC40 to a LEQ12.

Mine are right under the floor with less than great . So after running when the engines are warm, it's definitely harder to get things cooled down. My maintaining low/mid 70s in 95* example (with just the 16k running) was with cold engines. Aft stateroom was in the mid 80s at that point, forward maybe a degree or 2 warmer than the salon. And there was only a 1 or 2 hour period at the hottest part of the day where the A/C didn't cycle off at all. So I'd say my 36k BTU is a bit overkill for most situations. | | | 31-03-2021, 04:58 | | Boat: 50ft Custom Fast Catamaran | done today and see how it does. They required some extra to hold them in place. Plus I took a week off for sanity. Ha ha Hoping some of the other owners all over this forum chime in on this one. Need a few more data points. | | | 31-03-2021, 07:50 | | | , heat energy is then extracted by your system, if you have more coming in than going out, your system will not be nearly as efficient, in my nearly 20 years of designing, building air con and refer systems, we have seen this many a time, most are large with windows that are facing the sun at a low angle, I've measured glass temps close to 130f on some of them. A nice set of snap on white covers will enable the AC to be much more effective, and the cost is nowhere near upsizing the system itself. But hey, good luck! | | | 31-03-2021, 07:57 | | Boat: 50ft Custom Fast Catamaran | , heat energy is then extracted by your system, if you have more coming in than going out, your system will not be nearly as efficient, in my nearly 20 years of designing, building air con and refer systems, we have seen this many a time, most are large with windows that are facing the sun at a low angle, I've measured glass temps close to 130f on some of them.

This helped, especially on the large windows. Then I replaced all the foam roof headlining, which was scrabby anyway, with ¼ plastic boards and an air gap of about 1. Better deck means better AC.

Modern update could be using the deck-wash and a sprayer. sunshades 8-10ft up deflects a lot of heat away from the deck and windows, white cloth works well. Both work well and will massively reduce you A/C energy bill. Getting airflow through the hatches, assisted by fans, also reduces the sense of heat and keeps people cool even if it does not lower the temp. I find this keeps thing comfortable as long as the temp is low30's C or below. I did wish I had A/C in when it got to 37+ at night and I was stuck in a boatyard so could not even go for a dip but that has been the only time. | | | 31-03-2021, 09:42 | | Boat: Knysna 440 once I get my new dock and the canal gets dredged | are being used.

America’s Cup 2024: What are the AC75 boats and how do they work?The world’s oldest international sports trophy, best yachtsmen and cutting-edge design and technology come together in Barcelona for the 37th edition of the America’s Cup. Five boats – from Italy, the United States, Britain, Switzerland and France – will spend the coming weeks racing in the Mediterranean waves to decide who will earn the honour of trying to dethrone the mighty Emirates Team New Zealand for the Auld Mug. As the two-time defender, the Kiwis chose Barcelona’s choppy waters as the venue and helped establish the rules and boat design for this edition. They also get a guaranteed spot in the final, to be held in October. The results of three years of work and massive investment will now be put to the test. “It is starting to get serious in a hurry. We are now racing for keeps,” Ben Ainslie, skipper of British team Ineos Britannia, said. Here is everything we know about the boats – AC75s – that will be racing... “Because Barcelona is quite a lightwind venue, you don’t actually want to design foils for going at 60 knots. Acceleration and manoeuvrability are more important. So in terms of top speeds I don’t think we will see anything radically different from the top speeds we saw in the last Cup in New Zealand. Somewhere around 50 knots. But these boats would smash the boats from last time if they actually raced. I guess it’s like Formula One cars. The new boats are much faster over a lap, but they gain that time through cornering speed and acceleration rather than on the straights.” – Giles Scott (Head of Sailing, Ineos Britannia) This is the second iteration of the AC75 after they were also used in New Zealand at the 36th Cup. The “75” in AC75 stands for 75-feet, the length of the boat. The boats are 16 feet wide. The AC75 is a “foiling” monohull, which means it has only one hull which lifts up out of the water on hydrofoils - or “flies” - when the wind gets above a certain speed, typically around six knots. Although the boats look very similar, there are various changes since the last Cup. The rules have been tweaked partly to improve light-wind performance (frankly, it looked silly when the most technologically-advanced boats in the world fell off their foils in light winds in New Zealand in 2021, bobbing around helplessly) and partly to reduce crew numbers from 11 to eight for cost and performance reasons. The move to reduce the crew means cycle power is again legalised, and “cyclors”, the hybrid sailor-cyclists introduced by Team New Zealand in Bermuda in 2017, return. Length: 75 feet Width: 16 feet Height: 26.5m from the deck Weight: 6,200kg Max crew weight: 700kg Top speed: 50 knots Eight-man crewsCrews have been reduced from 11 to eight since the last Cup. No boat will feature anyone crossing during manoeuvres. That will be the biggest visual change for spectators. Everyone stays where they are, with four sailors on each side of the boat. The crews sit low in their pods, out of the airstream with only their helmeted heads exposed. Each team is slightly different in how and where they deploy their eight men, but every team has a helm, a trimmer and two cyclors on either side of their boat. The British team are unique in that their trimmer-pilots sit at the back of the boat in the aft pods, with the two cyclors between them and the helms in the forward pods. The cyclors’ role is to provide hydraulic power to the boat’s systems, from the foil arms to the mainsail. The Americans are outliers in that their cyclors are “recumbent”, meaning they are sitting/lying backwards, facing up towards the sky. This position sacrifices some power - around 10-20 per cent compared to traditional cyclists - but it does free up their hands to perform secondary functions. But it is likely that on every boat, certainly the British one, the cyclors will all have secondary roles. On Britannia, two of those roles are critical functions but not necessarily sailing-skill oriented (these might be suitable for former rowers who do not have sailing backgrounds). Two you would want to put sailors in there. F1 crossoverThe crossover between America’s Cup and F1 is becoming ever greater. Not for nothing is sailing’s most elite competition becoming known as “F1 on water”. Carbon-fibre composites, structural analysis, hydraulic systems, control systems, electronics, data analysis, hydrodynamics and aerodynamics are just some of the overlapping areas. Ineos Britannia have a partnership with Mercedes F1 via joint owners Ineos. The sailing team has offices in Brackley and hundreds of Mercedes staff have been seconded to the sailing project. James Allison is Chief Technical Officer of both teams. Geoff Willis is Technical Director of Mercedes-AMG F1 Applied Science and INEOS Britannia. Each boat is equipped with a pair of T-foils, on the end of “cant arms”. Around the size of an ironing board, the foils on the AC75 are capable of lifting a seven-tonne boat out of the water. As in the last Cup, the mainsail is “twin skin”; two membranes held together. Teams are allowed to “endplate”, or seal the mainsail onto the deck of the hull (or platform). This provides performance gains by stopping air flowing under the bottom of the mainsail, which detrimentally reduces the pressure differential between the windward and leeward sides. The AC75 rudder allows the boat to change pitch, or trim, by providing lift. This change in pitch moves the stern of the boat closer to the ground, which increases the angle of attack on the main foils. The foils provide lift, which moves the entire platform up.

AC50. The AC50 (defined in the America's Cup rules as AC Class yacht, or ACC) was a wingsail catamaran development rule that governed the construction of the yachts used in the 2017 Louis Vuitton Cup and the 2017 America's Cup. Like the larger AC72s used in the 2013 America's Cup, AC50s used L-shaped daggerboard stabilizers as well as T-shaped ...
Render comparison by Americas Cup . 23 vs 15 mts boat length diff, 2.5 vs 6.5 Tonnes gap plus the killer external massive foils of the AC75 give a quick notion of the extreme Tinkering done just to match or surpass the AC50 performance with a "monohull". We hope this new AC75 ballasted flying beast can provide faster boats, double the ...

As the title suggests, I am looking for hull drawings for an AC50/F50 catamaran. The hulls are one-design, so I don't think they are top-secret team information or anything. Looking to build a 25 foot "AC25" doublehanded foiling cat this summer, so I need the hull design. Nordschleife, May 25, 2021. #1.
SailGP's new F50 wingsailed catamaran will be an incredible high performance racing machine. The F50 is predicted to break the 50 knot barrier as the most challenging, high-tech one-design racing boat ever produced. At a glance, one could be forgiven for thinking it looks familiar to the AC50 used at the last America's Cup in Bermuda.

The F50 winged catamaran is essentially a seriously modified AC50 class, familiar to America's Cup fans «America's Cup». The class was wizened on for a year by the New Zealanders of Core Builders Composites. The resulting boat is 12-15% faster than its progenitor AC50 and can reach up to 53 knots. «It's great to feel this new, incredibly ...
Check out multiple videos on the YouTube site about SailGP, an international racing circuit, started in 2019, that uses the high tech F50 catamaran, derived from the AC50 catamaran used for the 2017 America's Cup. The boats are capable of speeding along at nearly 60 MPH when they rise up and "fly" on their winged foils.
My proposal (based on an earlier suggestion from John Xman) is to adopt the same change for the model: Length 1.5 m or 4.92 ' (59"). The AC guys are calling their boat the AC 50-in my opinion we should call this boat the "AC 50RC". Beam: max 3.75'=45"/115cm ( amended 8/2/15-) Tentative rules based on my D4Z:
It was August 2012 when the sailing world was turned upside down by a 72-foot catamaran flying in the Hauraki Gulf. Emirates Team New Zealand had brought foils to the America's Cup, changing the face of top-level yacht racing forever. Six years later, in 2018, the publication of the AC75 Class Rule marked the beginning of a new sailing era.

How many BTUs should be in a 50 foot catamaran generally? You skipped that. There is an enormous difference between an open pane window, and a window with a tight fitting reflectix and XPS panel in it. Given your experience, you should know this. There is a reason you see a class a RV is in parking lots with reflectix in the windows.
