Land Rover reveals the technical areas of collaboration currently in development to help create the fastest America’s Cup boat with #landroverbar. Typically shrouded in secrecy by the teams racing to win the America’s Cup, this release of information ahead of the first 2016 #event of the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series in Oman, Muscat (26-28 February), is a rarity in what is labelled as the most challenging design race in sport.
Land Rover is applying its design, technology and innovation expertise to the America’s Cup Class boat, a multihull catamaran code-named ‘R1’. The boat, weighing over two tonnes, will be capable of speeds in excess of 50knots thanks to a technique known as foiling where the boat lifts clear out of the water to fly on hydrofoils, reducing drag and increasing boat speed and efficiency.
