Mozzie: removing reference to sailgp locations
The '''F50''' is a one design [[hydrofoil|foiling]] [[catamaran]] used in the [[SailGP]] race series. The boats are based on [[AC50]] boats and technology used in the America's Cup. The boats are the fastest racing class in history, with speeds exceeding 50 knots.
Three boats from the 2017 America's Cup were converted to comply with a new one-design rule called F50 which was based on AC50 hulls and components in order to create the new [[SailGP]] fleet racing circuit. The geometry of appendages has been modified, extending the maximum beam to 8.80m, in order to increase righting moment. New heavy-weather 18m wingsails and light-air 28m wingsails supplement the existing 24m wingsails. Apart from the mainsheet, all hydraulic trimming aboard the F50s (active pitch control of all appendages, daggerboard lifting/lowering, jibsheet) are battery-powered and the crew has been reduced to five sailors.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> In order to focus on tactics, the helmsman is relieved of flight controls by a dedicated crewmember, similarly to Team's New Zealand's unique crew arrangement in the 2017 America's Cup.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> More boats were built from scratch by Core Builders Composites in Warkworth, NZ in order to assemble a fleet of four boats crewed by teams from the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom and France, as well as two more boats representing China and Japan.
