Maker Camp: Day 5
It’s field trip Friday here at Maker Camp and we’ve a truly great trip planned for our first field trip of Maker Camp 2013. We’ll be heading to San Francisco to visit with Oracle Team USA. Team Oracle makes some of the speediest sailboats in the world, and then races them in America’s Cup, the world’s premier sailing event. Oracle Team USA boats are seven-ton, wing-sail catamarans capable of speeds typically seen only on highways. At 43 knots boatspeed, the boats are capable of sailing their 72-foot length in a single second.
