The present America's Cup challenge/defence is interesting in the way the Yachts "fly" around the course:

This is WettPunkt, the winner of the 2008 Round Britain Power Boat Race. I used to watch the 1960s-70s era races from Durlston Head, south of Swanage back then, so I went back there for the 2008 race.

The boat was doing about 75 kts at the time, and the sound was AWESOME!
