Tru,
Having more than a little experience in sailing,including a Trans-Atlantic ...there is no way they are going to attach a full size America's Cup sail to any car that isn't permantly affixed to conrete.
These Mainsails average 100 feet in height,10 stories tall.
The forces and leverage are huge !
Must mean scale models of the full size..
