Wonderful piece in today's Telegraph about Ben Ainslie's new AC45 with which he hopes to win the 2017 America's Cup ... as if that's not bad enough 'they're called AC45s because they're 45 feet tall'. You couldn't make it up ... but they did!
Sir Ben must have phoned them! ... They've now changed it slightly and simply say the mast is 45ft tall, not that that was the reason it's called an AC45. To save you looking it up it's 70ft.
