Eaton/Clarke on Canaan Win 2010 Little America's Cup
NEWPORT, RI, August 28, 2010 -- If wing technology didn’t have everyone’s attention after BMW Oracle Racing’s victorious 33rd America’s Cup, it definitely does now. The high speeds and almost instant acceleration of cambered foils had members of America’s Cup syndicates, top designers, and all sailors in awe.
Canadian C Class Catamaran Team of Fred Eaton, Magnus Clarke, Steve Killing, Rob Paterson, and Rossi Milev have been along for the entire ride, one way or another. Clarke, Paterson, and Milev took six months off from their C Class program to manage wing protection for the largest wingmast ever built for a race-boat: BMW Oracle’s (223 foot) 68 metre-tall wing. Reunited in March, their team brought four wings to the International C Class Catamaran Championship hosted by New York Yacht Club on Narragansett Bay this past week.
“Upwind the camber is moderate, but downwind with the flap set at 40 degrees, the wing will produce almost double the force of an equal area soft sail,” explains Killing.
Eaton and Clarke raced Killing’s latest design, Canaan, to a thrilling victory today in the final day of match racing.

Have Your Boat Trips Arranged For A Fun Vacation!
By Ainuddin Mohamad
Any form of water is truly an amazing sight to see and explore. That is why many people are exerting much time and resources to make the most out of boating experiences. Some people prefer to do all the planning and preparations on their own while some like to have someone arrange the boating trips for them.
There are boat charter companies that can arrange boating trips for you for a well-deserved and fun vacation. These boat charter companies offer many advantages for tourists. Here are some reasons why:
-Time, effort and resources are maximized.
You really don't have to waste precious time, trying to arrange a boating trip by yourself and trying to grasp things that you really don't have knowledge about. In the end, you wouldn't enjoy much of your boating trip with all the hassles that you will go through just to keep it as perfect as possible.
The thing to remember is that you can rely on these companies to do a great job planning your boating trip because they have experienced working in the environment in the past and they know more that you do when it comes to boating trips.

prepare yourself and the things that you need to bring.
-Do more; enjoy more.
Most of the people who prefer self-planned boat trips exert great efforts but many end up in vain. That is because they miss out on some activities or some places.
Self-planned trips usually settle for the main attraction of a certain place. Other activities and places are left untapped and unseen. As compared to arranged trips, they have the itinerary well-planned, for your travel pleasures.
Boat charter companies can only offer so much if you only seek their services.
-Safety is assured.
The trips from charter companies come with travel insurance. Boat charter company staffs also ensure the safety of the tourists throughout the course of the boating trip. The boating industry may seem to be plain leisure to the tourists, but it is a serious business on the boat charter companies’ side.
For them, safety is a key factor in getting more clients, and having a firm grasp on former clients’ loyalty.
All these and more advantages, you can get at a price that is worth every cent. So go ahead, and contact a boat charter company for your boating trip!
