Snooping seems a bit harsh...

It has to be the most interesting and significant techie sailboat event of the last 5 years at least...

 

Jim, I did not mean snooping in a bad way; as you say it's the most interesting techie thing!  makes the Big A cup wing look like a bit of lego!

We are receiving the press releases and keeping an eye on the event. It would be nice to go out there and see it for real though! 
Needs to sail more...
