WHA?! That's awesome! Rounding the mark looks hhhairy tho... gotta look into building one of those, I think I could scrounge up an old 420 rig to start with, time for some research!

I believe Oracle's America's Cup Trimaran is the current world's fastest sail boat.... They just won the latest America's Cup. New regulation changes allow them to benefit from tech improvements, etc.

How do you figure? Where in that article you linked, or any other source, does it say the Oracle boat has gone 51 knots or better over 500 meters or longer?
