I bet that is similar to what was said 1900's when the America Cup boats
went to cross cut sails and the Marconi rig. Then again when they went
from the 12 meters to the IACC boats, never mind the foiling cats. "just
saying" own Fireball for 39 years

I too like the 12 meters, but I would like the cup to revert to
J-Class boats even more.
Catamarans with wing sails just don’t do anything for me.
(thread creep – when I was at flight school someone combined an old
Hobie Cat and a wing from the aircraft junkyard into an early version
of one of these LOL )

The Parker Hannifin Division that I retired from was making aircraft
grade axial piston pumps for the last AC boats. We provided electric
motor pumps for the practice boats but the race boats are mechanically
driven. The hydraulics were for the foils and winches. The grinders
are actually driving the two speed pumps.a I retired just before we
delivered the race units.
The previous division that I worked for also made Electro Hydraulic
Servo Valves (EHSV) for formula 1 race cars to control suspension and
fuel delivery.
Interesting work but I still prefer the old 12 meters and actually
having to sail the boat.
