With a low range box connected to an auto trans and a 6 cylinder diesel I'd be surprised if it couldn't tow the plane.... Let alone the boat onto the plane.

Matt110 - Indeed what HP is it?
Just a pity it’s made in France which is just as off putting as the other. Just curious as I’ve never seen the specs only the first reveal of how it looks. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

"Sir Ben Ainslie left humiliated after his boat is outclassed and fails to register a point"
Not going well down under... "The performance deficit of the British challenger for the 36th America’s Cup was cruelly and embarrassingly all too obvious in Auckland yesterday as Ineos Team UK’s Britannia wallowed on the Hauraki Gulf. The team had warned that its boat, designed by a group of international naval architects, and with input from engineers at Mercedes Formula One, would struggle in light winds. The full extent of the problem became clear in its final two races in the America’s Cup World Series regatta in a light and patchy breeze." " Inside the team that is funded to the tune of more than £110 million by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the Ineos billionaire, the talk now is of a “siege mentality” among sailors and designers who have endured the ignominy of not just failing to compete but failing even to finish races. In both heats they were not able to keep their boat going fast enough for an official finish time."

Ben A hasn't yet made a success of the transition to the big boats, whether under the auspices of LR or now with Ineos. I'm sure he will given more time and money, but I can't help thinking the sponsors will either drop out or drop him first. He seems like a decent skin but the spend is eye watering and the fundamental mistakes keep coming.
