More DescriptionLearning to Fly provides a missing piece of America's Cup history that bridges the gap between 156 years of monohulls sailing for the Cup, and the hi-tech craft that are now foiling for the Cup. San Diego's successful defense of the Cup in 1988 was sailed in a multihull, which set a precedent for using that type of boat, but 2010 was the very first time two multihulls had squared off for an America's Cup match. Learning to Fly reveals the drama involving the design, construction, and sailing of a huge, temperamental multihull driven by an enormous wingsail. It sets the stage for the America's Cup match in March, 2021.
