In 2017, the young teams will be sailing the AC45F, a 45-footer that will fly on hydrofoils. Six boats are provided by current America’s Cup teams that competed in the 2016 Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series, and two additional boats are provided by the America’s Cup Event Authority (ACEA). Specifications for the AC45F indicate the boat is capable of reaching speeds of over 35 knots, or 40mph/65kmh.
