I came back from Bermuda expressly to photograph the AC 45’s. Well, I live here as well.
The “Circuis” is quite self sufficient which probably makes sense. The same crane lifts these boats no mater where in the world they are. The Judges boats, chase boats etc are carried with them as well.These boats really look small, they manouvre very well; quick to accelerate, quick to stop, tight turning radius.
They are a totally different beast then the 72 foot cats that will start to appear soon and will be used in the actual Cup event in San Francisco next year.
