"From what I can see, the GC struggles to go consistently faster than 12 upwind (A). Meanwhile the Superfoiler goes mid-teens to very low 20's upwind (B). So unless I'm drastically misjudging the angles, the performance is somewhat similar downwind and the Superfoiler makes massive gains on every upwind. The upwind numbers for the GC have always shocked me because that means I can potentially gun down a poorly sailed one in my UFO. \n\t\n\tWorth noting. The moth is still probably faster than the Superfoiler thanks to seemingly comparable speeds on all headings and better maneuvers (C). True A-cat loyalists will probably lodge the same claim about their boat, too, but I haven't seen any full race data to back it up.\n\t\n\tCitations:\n\t(A) All the GC livestreams. They do not move upwind.\n\t(B) In screen speed graphics (rare) in the Superfoiler livestreams\n\t(C) Live moth tracking from 2014 (they are faster now) http://www.tractrac.com/viewer/index.php?target=http://em.club.tractrac.com/events/973041f0-d6f2-0130-9b9c-10bf48d758ce/races/0ea1e130-8e6f-0131-3582-10bf48d758ce.json\n\t\n\tBitchin' last event. I really hope this keeps going. I only get one day off a week, if I'm lucky, and the livestream plays perfectly on a Smart TV. Not quite as awesome as the America's Cup. However, for it's budget, it overdelivered. Definitely cooler than the extreme series.\n\t\n\tDRC\n\n"
