Shape of things to come?

Yeehaa! Video footage from Franck Cammas' flying Phantom F18

Since winning the Volvo Ocean Race, Franck Cammas' Groupama design team has been focussing its efforts on designing a C-Class catamaran to win this September's Little America's Cup. A sledgehammer to crack a nut? You bet! A prelude to Cammas' campaign for the 35th America's Cup? Almost certainly...

As a test platform for their curvy foils they have been using a Martin Fischer-designed Phantom F18.
