The America's Cup World Series (ACWS) is a series of match/fleet race regattas founded in the lead up to the 2013 America's Cup. The series will be featured again in the lead up to 2017 America's Cup in 2015 and 2016. ==The yachts== The World Series used AC45 catamarans, a one-design wingsail catamaran with foils designed specifically for the event by the Oracle Racing engineering team. The AC45 was conceived as a smaller version of the larger AC72 class rule which were sailed by competitors during the 2013 Louis Vuitton Cup and the 34th America's Cup. The class was modified in 2015 to incorporate hydrofoiling capability for improved performance, with boats achieving peaks of 37kt. The AC45 has the following specifications: *build: honeycomb core carbon fiber sandwich *length: *beam: *weight: *maximum draught : *air draught : without extension, with extension *wing: wing element with three slotted flaps *extension: high, area *jib area: , manufactured by a sail loft of team's choice *gennaker area: , manufactured by a sail loft of team's choice *builders: Core Builders (NZ), Cookson Boats (NZ) *crew: 5 + 1 guest *daggerboards: two conventional leeboards (2011–2013 series) with raking L-type hydrofoils (2015–2016 series) *rudders: two balanced spade rudders (2011–2013 series) with T-type horizontal stabilizers (2015–2016 series) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「America's Cup World Series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
