GC32. The GC32 is a class of hydrofoiling catamaran, 32 feet in length (9.75 meters) and constructed of carbon fibre, with a top speed of about . They are sailed in the GC32 Racing Tour, and have replaced the Extreme 40's in the Extreme Sailing Series.

History
Conceived by Laurent Lenne, who was trained as a naval architect in Southampton, the GC32 was designed by Dr. Martin Fischer. Built from carbon fibre, the boat is manufactured in Dubai by Premier Composite Technologies and then marketed by Lenne's company, THE GREAT CUP BV.

In 2013, the first version of the GC32 was built. In 2014, the second version of the Flying GC32 was ready by April 2014 and create the GC32Racing Tour in 2014. Laurent is nowadays mainly responsible for expanding the GC32 racing experience and helping new owners to join the GC32 community.

Design
For the first season the boats competed with their Mk1 foil package comprising a ‘double S’ configuration main foil/daggerboard and L-profile rudder. These were designed to reduce displacement, but not cause the GC32 to fly.

By spring of 2014, the GC32 was refitted with an Mk2 foil package.  The change came as a result of inspiration drawn from the AC72 catamarans seen in the 34th America's Cup.  This transformed the class into fully flying foiling catamarans.

Although the GC32 shares some similarities with the America's Cup catamarans, there are some stark differences. The foils are substantially larger (compared to the boat's size) than those used in America's Cup versions.  The effect is that the GC32 is more controllable and easier to steer.  Furthermore, the GC32 is able to foil in low wind speeds with greater stability and ease. Despite having the larger foils, these boats are fast and can reach speeds of . Also different from the America's Cup design is the more manageable soft-sail rig (with one design sails and no hydraulics), rather than a rigid carbon fibre wing. The foil package and boat set up enables it to be sailed by more than just elite athletes; amateur sailors and owners can also experience the very latest technology in high performance yacht racing.

GC32 International Class Association
As of 2017, the GC32 catamaran is recognized by World Sailing as an international sailboat class.  This enables the class to hold a world championship event.  The first world championship will take place on Lake Garda in May 2018.

GC32 Racing Tour

Extreme Sailing Series

The GC32 was introduced onto the Extreme Sailing Series circuit for the 2016 season, thus replacing the Extreme 40, which had been used since the series' start as the iShares Cup in 2007. 
The GC served as the Extremes' class until its unfortunate end following the 2018 season.

French destroyer Arabe. The French destroyer Arabe was one of a dozen s built for the French Navy in Japan during the First World War.

Design and description
The Arabe-class ships had an overall length of , a length between perpendiculars of  a beam of , and a draft of . The ships displaced  at normal load. They were powered by three vertical triple-expansion steam engines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by four mixed-firing Kampon Yarrow-type boilers. The engines were designed to produce , which would propel the ships at . During their sea trials, the Arabe class reached . The ships carried enough coal and fuel oil which gave them a range of  at . Their crew consisted of 5 officers and 104 crewmen.

The main armament of the Arabe-class ships was a single Type 41  gun, mounted before the bridge on the forecastle. Their secondary armament consisted of four Type 41  guns in single mounts; two of these were positioned abreast the middle funnel and the others were on the centerline further aft. One of these latter guns was on a high-angle mount and served as an anti-aircraft gun. The ships carried two above-water twin mounts for  torpedo tubes. In 1917–18, a rack for eight  depth charges was added.

Construction and career
Arabe was ordered from Kure Naval Arsenal and was launched in 1917 and completed later that year. She was stricken on 14 June 1936 and subsequently broken up for scrap.

St. Louis Southwestern Railway (Cotton Belt Route) Relief Train. The St. Louis Southwestern Railway (Cotton Belt Route) Relief Train is a railroad rescue and recovery train, its elements now on display at the Arkansas Railroad Museum in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.  The train's principal feature is a large steam crane (SSW 96005), built by Industrial Brownhoist of Bay City, Michigan in 1940.  Other elements of the train include a boom car, generator flat, kitchen car, tool car, and crew sleeper.  The boom car, a low gondola car, was attached to the train below the projecting section of the train; the other elements of the train supported the crew and the operation of the crane to clear derailments.  The relief train was assembled by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway (aka the Cotton Belt Run), and remained in active service until 1996, when it was given to the museum.

The train was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

French destroyer Opiniâtre. The French destroyer Opiniâtre was one of four s that was built for the Argentine Navy in the early 1910s. The ships were taken over by the French Navy after the start of the First World War in August 1914. She was scrapped in 1935.

Design and description 

The ships had an overall length of , a beam of , and a draft of . They displaced  at normal load and  at deep load. Their crew numbered 140 men.

The ships were powered by a pair of Rateau steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by five mixed-firing Foster-Wheeler boilers. The engines were designed to produce  which was intended to give the ships a speed of . The ships carried  of coal and  of fuel oil that gave them a range of  at a cruising speed of .

The primary armament of the Aventurier-class ships consisted of four  guns in single mounts, one on the forecastle, one between the funnels, and two on the quarterdeck, in front and behind the searchlight platform. They were fitted with a  AA gun for anti-aircraft defence. The ships were also equipped with four single mounts for  torpedo tubes amidships.

Construction and career
Opinâtre was ordered from Dyle et Bacalan and was launched in 1911 with the name of La Rioja at its Bordeaux shipyard. The ship was completed on 16 September 1914. 

On 27 May 1915, Opiniâtre and her sister ship  escorted the armored cruiser  as she transported Vice-Admiral () Augustin Boué de Lapeyrère, commander of the 1st Naval Army (), to Taranto, Italy, for a meeting with Admiral Prince Luigi Amedeo, Duke of the Abruzzi (), Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Italian Navy ().

She was struck in 1933 and broken up for scrap in 1935.
