BMW Oracle's new Trimaran

Recommended Posts

Guest Spottswoode

Simply wow.

There are some really really nice design touches that have been incorporated.

90ft LOA, 90ft beam with a 158ft mast, indicated speed should easily be twice that of the wind.

Makes me laugh that they've nicked named it Dogzilla :D

From NZ Herald:

If BMW Oracle wins an appeal in the New York courts sometime next year, the team may race its trimaran against one being designed by Alinghi, the America's Cup holders, in a one-on-one series under the rules outlined in the Cup's governing document, the Deed of Gift.

That would be a Deed of Gift match, or DOG match - giving the trimaran its Dogzilla nickname.
