NEWS FLASH: Liquid Design Secrets Unveiled!

The R-class squadron, normally a bastion of sportsmanship and comradeship, has never seen a scandal quite like this. In a move reminiscent of the big-budget, win at all costs tactics of America's Cup teams, secret design documents have been stolen from the R593 Liquid R-class team. These highly technical and detailed design documents show the details and results of recent secret design developments undertaken by the Liquid team during the winter season.

www.rclass.org cannot disclose the source of these documents, or how they were obtained. In the interests of the class, and upon consultation with our lawyers, we have decided to publish them on this website for all to see. This demonstrates our commitment to a policy of openness, particular to this high-performance development class.
