IMHO the J-Class were the best, the 12 Meters the second best, and then it all went downhill after that. Oddly enough, last I checked the 12 Meter class was surprisingly active, not being AC boats didn’t seem to harm the class overall. Joe Coquina Thanks to all of the subscribers that

Just remember Alexander Graham Bell was tinkering with hydrofoils in the 1920's to start this whole mess off.  Hydrofoils, I don't think ever really took off as mainstream method of reducing drag on boats until America's cup people started playing with it. There have been a few foiling survey
