While checking some AC45 Energy images, I saw a familiar face, yep , the F18 2010 World Champion, Arnaud Jarlegan (pictured left) is now trimmer for Energy. With the great Loick Peyron helming this team has a serious future on the Cup if they manage to confirm their monetary funds.
Lots of talents still out of the Cup, some teams need to realize that this is a whole new game, and in my view having some experienced multihull sailors is a must for a successfull campaign.
Not to mention muti experienced designers like Melvin, Fischer or wing gurus like Clark.
Although I’m wondering which innovations Juan K will bring to his first?! catamaran design, as he has a good history on breaking new grounds on the monohull arena.
