They were something to see. I was out there as a spectator for both of the races that this video has been made from. It was all part of the AC35 events in Bermuda 2017. They did an offshore & an inshore race. IIRC they were supposed to do a race on the AC 35 course in the Great Sound but it was cancelled due to lack of wind. An unforgettable sight even if you are not a sailor. I am not. I agree, the clips in the video are way too short. It really does not do justice to the boats. The foiling cats are better seen on TV. I served as a spectator marshal boat skipper for the AC35 cat racing. Up close they are incredibly fast & quiet. An experience to remember but not particularly fun to do. We were the first boats out, setting down the course marker bouys with the transmitter attached that give you the lines you see on the water on TV. No the water is not marked. Under direction of the course directors we often had to move those markers mid race due to wind shifts. All interesting stuff but 6-8 hours without a break in a small18' RIB getting wet wears you down.
