What kind of technology can you get for a $300 million sailboat? Start with the physical structure: a three hulled trim ran, 114 feet long, fashioned from carbon fiber shaped into a form descended from Polynesian outrigger boats over a thousand years old. The hull is so light it only extends six inches into the water. Forget about a traditional mast (that’s the pole that holds up the sails) and sails too. Think about a 233-foot airplane wing also made from carbon fiber that sticks up from the boat deck 20 stories high Instead of cloth sails, think about an aeronautical fabric stretched over a carbon fiber frame that is hydraulically controlled to assume any shape you want. The result is wings, not a sail, whose shape can be changed from near flat to quite curved, just like an aircraft wing.
