BMW ORACLE Racing - New Modification

A new modification to team BMW ORACLE’S trimaran….an addition of an aerodynamic wing attachment to the rear beam. If you look close (click on images to enlarge) you can see the white triangle shaped attachment to the beam. It is covered with telltales to show wind flow. We do not think this is where the engine will go. We think that is a test to see if they can reduce drag coming off the rear beam.
