I googled nude foiling, and all that came up were photos of fingernail painting. :(

 

p.s. Next step will be opening the America's Cup challenges to power boats.

 

There've been rumours that Oracle have been using electric motors, like the ones used in that corruption-free sport, cycling. How Oracle is using them is open to debate, but thoughts are that they are used to store energy that's then fed into the winching system. Only rumours at this stage.

NZ also achieved the holy grail, staying on foils for 100% of the race. up until now boats would slip off the foils in turns and other parts of racing, NZ managed to stay up and therefore faster, for the whole race.
