    Except I have heard those boats are capable of traveling 3x the wind speed. 50mph wind = well you get the idea

    Oh I know. They're crazy fast. I heard on CL they can up to 340mph. That's faster than a jet boat! To those that don't, it's one of the funnier things to say....

    Due to the death earlier this year they put a cap of 25 knots for a top wind speed.

    Here's the entire race for you sir if you have not seen it already.....these boats are seriously fast and dangerous as hell to sail...but boy they look like fun.LOL.....to me, the Americas cup will never be the same again.....look for the AC72's to make a comeback in San Fran in a few years and be even more faster than they are now...would be great to lengthen the course to allow an even longer downwind run.....a 100mph sailboat? God, these can do it...
