AC75 FOIL ARM TESTING SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED OUT AT PERSICO MARINE
The second round of structural testing of the one design AC75 foil arms has successfully been conducted at Persico Marine in Italy this week.
Comprehensive tests were undertaken over the course of three days, with more than 100 different load cycles applied to the foil arm and were the final step in the foil arm design and construction process which has been led by Luna Rossa Challenge.

The satisfactory result follows on from the first round of one design foil arm testing undertaken at
