Adrenaline required BBY

At 43 knots, the catamaran can sail its entire 72-foot length in a single second — nearly four times faster than the 2007 class. The massive sail generates 7 tons of force, lifting the hull out of the water until the boat’s only connection to the water is a thin hydrofoil known as a daggerboard. Sailors on the Oracle crew say the experience of being on an AC72 as it flies up out of the water is exhilarating.:timeout:

The French Frigate Hermione replica is another one of my favorites. I have a love for frigates in particular and this one is a beauty.
