Oracle going into the water...

 The Oracle AC72 is being put together and getting ready for the water. It is already being called BatZilla, after the DOGZilla name given to the Tri from the past AC series. I would love to be there to see this monster, the wing is 135 feet (About 45 meters) and is quite something to see. The report is that the rudders have foils as do the main dagger-boards. So we will see if this animal will fly. In any case, this is an incredible engineering creation.
