AC45

AC45 is a type of racing sailboat used in America’s Cup events, measuring about 45 feet in length. Designed as a high-performance, lightweight monohull, it combines advanced aerodynamics and hydraulics to enable fast, agile sailing. These boats are typically used in high-stakes, competitive sailing competitions where teams compete to race around a designated course. The AC45 serves as a platform for testing new technologies and skills before moving on to the larger, more complex AC75 boats used in the main America’s Cup races.
