No and no

Speaking of youtube:

Here's a Hinemoa (Wharram) with an unusual rig A Hinemoa should be 23ft long although in this video the boat does look just a little bit bigger than that, but interesting to see the bi-plane or whatever they call the rig Bi-polar! perhaps!

Cripes as Richard would say is that a duck on the deck

This Ain't Wood, but it is a video of one of the new America's cup boats. I think our wooden boats make a whole lot of sense when compared to this giant reflection of someone's ego.

The film is sped up too - everything is moving way faster than it can, but what a circus.

There is little in the way of new technology here (except structurally) it is just scaled up to be BIG. Like the Big Banana. I think some of the C-class catamarans covered all of this ground about 15 years ago, but at a boat length of 25ft.
