Here he describes the work behind the mast section on the 1974 America's cup defender. Eds.) The America's Cup is defended and challenged by men sailing the most advanced boats afloat, and no 12-Meter skipper would want to go to the starting line with anything but the fastest boat and best equipment that designers and builders can produce. Since very small differences in boatspeed can mean the margin between victory and defeat, every part of the boat (hull, rigging, and sails) is reviewed and studied for any possible improvement. Much was written last summer and fall about hull shape (with the disappointment of the Chance-designed Mariner) and about sails (the Kevlar mainsails and the Hood versus North competition). Although other design Figure 2.
