And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The Mariners Museum in Newport News had an ocean racing sailboat on display. It is much larger than I imagined. https://www.marinersmuseum.org/exhibit/speed-and-innovation-in-the-americas-cup/ And it costs only a dollar to visit the museum.
Wow. Talk about a low drag configuration.

Astonishing to me that those stilts can support the weight of the boat and the forces applied to it
