Interesting about RocketLab - the NZ America's Cup team has a lot of experience working with carbon fibre and composites so must be a NZ strength<br /><br />What happens next is a bit TBD as rules can change between rounds - which is one way it is legally different from Formula 1, though Airbus has been involved in multiple series so hopefully will be involved in moreJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475536270807856327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-10456096176333052632021-03-02T10:06:19.843+00:002021-03-02T10:06:19.843+00:00I'm not really into sailing, but I watched the...I'm not really into sailing, but I watched these yachts for the first time and was astounded by their design and performance.

But I digress.) I'm sure the Airbus team will bounce back. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
