New Sailing Technology at America's Cup

The America’s Cup always presents surprises where new sailing technology goes.

Many of the technologies are actually not new per se, but they’re being refined every year and pushed to the limit by using onboard computers and all that.

Just imagine hinged sails, stress sensors, wings, etc…

You can be forgiven for thinking that we are talking about some alien ships but the fact is competitive sailing is now all about cutting edge technology.
