America\'s Cup design tutorial

There was no racing today because of unreliable winds so TV NZ screened an interview of Tom Schnackenberg conducted by Ed Baird.
Tom was standing at a whiteboard and took the viewers through a comprehensive analysis of the various design and construction features of America's cup boats complete with diagrams to enhance his explanations.

Great Stuff!

That sounds about a hundred times more illuminating than anything I've seen on UK terrestial TV. Schnackenberg's been involved with the AC since 83 and really knows his stuff.
