I love seeing the Optis in this video, reaching around like it’s no big deal in 25knots, while Russell Coutts’ AC45 cat capsizes in the background. Glad folks were wearing helmets that day. Russell’s interview the day before was telling:
“You’ve got to get to the point of finding the edge and not going over the edge, and sometimes you’re going to go over the edge. … Because the closer you design it to the edge, the faster it will go. But you don’t want to go over the edge. Or preferably not over the edge.”
