Cost was $400 million. That's right, almost half a billion dollars. Top speed - 33 knots. Mast height - 185ft. Length - 90ft. 223ft high sail - largest ever constructed. The design allowed the yacht to average 26.8 knots in just 7 knots of wind at the 33rd America's Cup.

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
