I hope to come up with some interesting new innovations for this Interclub, but smart sailors have been thinking about how to make these boats go fast since the first one was launched in 1945. So before trying anything new, I need to make sure I am up to speed on the intellectual property that's already been developed and applied. How to do that? Study other boats, talk to their owners, and take pictures....lots and lots and lots of pictures.
