New rule changes allow the BMW Oracle tri-hull sailing contraption to enter the race with a carbon fiber and Kevlar wing rather than a traditional sail.

To fully appreciate the enormous size of the sail, watch the brief (< 2 minutes) video at the bottom of the page.

I read that in my last issue! Looks like a good design, I would love to see the test results behind it
