Although there's plenty of controversy swirling around the boat designed

for this edition of the America's Cup, there's no debate whatsoever about the CARLO BERLINGHI caliber of the event's competing crews. All are world-class sailors who have distinguished themselves in the highest levels of competition. We'll introduce you here to some of the superstars of each Cup campaign. Throughout the summer events, there will be a number of opportunities to meet them in person at the America's Cup Village or AC Park.

"For sure. But do they have to be mongo diameter? Use the really, really thin stuff for those lacings. Less drag, more point." "Okay, but what's this 'drag angle' stuff?" "Elementary, Max. Drag angle is just the angle whose tangent is drag over lift. If a foil produced all lift and no drag, the angle would be zero. All the force would be lift force, directed at 90 degrees to the direction of flow. It would be a 100% ef- ficient foil. But if drag is, like, one-tenth of lift, then the force vector tips back a little, and the drag angle is six degrees. If drag equals lift, it's 45 degrees." "Okay," I said. "So how do you get from there to the statement that the pointing angle is the sum of the two drag angles?" "Easy. If the boat is moving at a steady speed, all the forces from the air equal all the forces from the water. Lift, drag, resistance, parasitic air drag, everything. For the underwater part, lift from the keel and rudder, which is the force to windward, is the lift part of the angle. All the sources of resistance make the drag side. The hydrodynamic drag angle is the arc tangent, or the angle whose tangent is all the drag divided by all the lift. And in the air, lift is the force on the sail at a SPREAD: LATITUDE / JR; ISNET: MAX EBB / JR; ISNET: SPREAD: LATITUDE right angle to the apparent wind.

It's the Double Trouble and Criminal Mischief show here in The Racing Sheet, brought to you by intrepid racing reporter Ronnie Simpson. The two boats battled each other in the Spinnaker Cup, Duxship and Full Crew Faral- lones last month, monopolizing much of this month's ink. We did manage to sneak in reports on SFYC's June Invitational, YRA 2, the Delta Ditch Run and the Coastal Cup. And an update on the Clipper Race.

"We joked that several fleets were left to deal with truly setting it higher would only encourage nuking conditions on the Bay. stronger winds." According to RegattaPRO's Jeff Zarwell, It was no joke.
