C-Class reborn

by · Published · Updated

After an awesome display of sailing and technology the C-Class has seen a new birth. Thanks first to the class members like Steve Clark , Fred Eaton, Magnus Clarke and all the other teams.
Also the AC 33 with BMW Oracle going for the Wing, the attendance at New York Yacht Club of several AC teams and designers wanting to check first hand how the next Cup will look, along the NYYC and Sailing Anarchy Live coverage gave the class the deserved recognition.
So now many will like to build their C-Class and compete at Weymouth 2012, well I’m one, today I opened my RC II F18 cad and made some stretching here and there.. and voila! I have my C-Class hull ready for the CNC…. just need to move forward the daggers, some fine tuning and ……design and build a Wing …… ….!
Hat off to all the sailors, builders and support teams for those amazing machines, and as I pointed this was a preview of thing to come for AC 34, almost confirmed in 70′ Winged cats-

    I did not understand the dolphin striker of this boat, it looks like a third foil

    That´s the other Dagger, and the main support structure is missing…
    Is a quick sketch over a one hull F18 cad. I'm refining it as I got hooked with this C, will publish later .
