The Louis Vuitton (America's Cup) races are on NBCSP.
These are 40 foot catamarans sailboats on "foils" with "wing" sails.
Speed are as high as 45 knots.
"Foil" is short are hydrofoil or a wing underwater. It allows the boat to actually sail/fly completely out of the water except for the foils. Each boat has four.
"Wing" sales are rigid sails shaped like an airplane mounted vertically on the mast. Being rigidly they hold their shape.
A "knot" is 1.151 nautical mile per hour. 45 k equals 51.8 MPH without an engine.
Great fun to watch.
