A great advertisement for Australian sportsmanship and mateship. And not a piece of sandpaper to be seen anywhere. Makes me proud to be both a sailor and an Aussie.
As a family we had a Cal 25 that could go no faster than 8 knots. That was the limit for any conventional sailing hull at the time. Boy, was it ever fun. That was 1972.
Yeh, the media can't do basic maths..... or even type 50 knots to km/h into google. Just embarrassing! And the channel is called True Stories! What a joke! The boats and sailors are awesome though :)
@@JulianLiebl in that area of speed it is "JUST" cause every single km/h more is so hard to get.... so there is a BIG difference between 90 and 100 km/h
See one change that the last America's Cup brought to these boats was a change to the grinders that provide the power for almost everything. Traditionally the grinder have always been hand crank. The New Zealander's changed that to leg powered grinders. Makes sense when you think that the biggest most powerful muscles in the human body are in the legs.
It was fun at high speed according to the female presenter. 50 knots, 92.6 km/h on water feels very fast. I've done speed surfing at 28 - 30 knots. Speed is adrenalin rush.
The boats are made of Unobtanium, which has significant defense applications. I haven't studied the question, but I would expect there's a certain largesse commensurate with a market's defense budget.
@Jeffrey Hagelin cuz the clubs are massive and are super rich but if south africa or portugal wanted to make a challenge they wouldnt have the money in their clubs of course america can come back but im just saying make it cheaper so we can have more clubs join in

When slowing down from hydrofoiling the nose comes in at an angle so you need more volume in the nose. Also the momentum of the sail has a component which is dipping the nose
The America Cup race is the oldest international race in the world. Foiling has raised this race to ballistic proportions. A rollercoaster ride with no safety bars. Scary even as a spectator sport
OK. So you are not used to high speed boats. Got that. 100kph - rare unless you have perfect conditions and perfect set up. Lightspeed definitely not. Speed over water seems much faster than in a car. These boats push 40 kts which is around 80 kph. They are not flying machines, they are foiling machines. The 100 kph is 54kts speed is reaching a limit, because foils cavitate at just over 50kts (92.6kph) and wind, air resistance of the rig and their strength, all come together to make handling these boats in severe weather and wind conditions very difficult and safety becomes a very big concern due to unpredictable variables. Despite these minor corrections, great report. You put over the exhilaration of foiling boats (I design and build motorized ones). I am very happy to see that foiling boats are now making their mark. I hope more people get to experience foiling boats - cos what they can do in rough water beats any standard non foiling mono- or multihull.
Somewhere around 44 knots if I am correct, the foils start behaving badly. I would like to know what shapes are going on below the water to hold off the cavitation and other issues that happen at these speeds. Are the nose dives caused by cavitation or spanwise airflow, vapour??? Some really cool engineering is going on. This is sound barrier type stuff only on/in the water.
Old fart here been riding motorcycles all my life dirt bike racing road racing still long distance touring now most fun I ever had was on the hot rod catamaran love them all
My kids favorite boat to go on is our toy hobie cat. No boom, only huge batons. Every now and then we capsize and they FREAK out!! so much fun though!! (I’m an instructor at a sail camp)

Why don’t they put a wing between the pontoons, making the boat itself a wing. Use foil and ground effect technology to stabilize & drive the boat. Seams as if using ground would keep the nose from diving into the water. Ground effect was successfully used by the Russian to achieve 300+ mph with a water craft in the 1950’s
Every time somebody say's hitting water at speed is like hitting concrete should try running into concrete. It's absolutely nothing like crashing into water at any speed. 😃
Do not understand why the hulls have reverse noses on hulls? if they had a flared bib they would immediately lift instead of diving to a stop! same as surf ski's have always had. no extra weight1
You just gotta be really good, have racing experience and be in the right place to put your name in the application. If you don't mind a compromise you can try smaller more accessible foiling boats like moth or nacra.
Clickbaiting at it's 'best'. 50 knots is fast, but in the sailing world it's not even close to 'over 100km/hr'. You know this, right? So, do it better next time…
I’ve seen adds for people wanting crew to sail for recreation and they want money, they basically want you to pay to help them sail... No F’ing way, you pay me to work on your boat not vice versa but this I’d happily pay for.

It's amazing that one little piece placed under the boat actually increases the speed by a lot.
Way less friction from just foils in the water than an entire hull
It would seem it's quite complicated to multiply 50 by 1.8. 50kts is just over 90km/h.
1.85200 🤓.....92.6 km/h....but def NOT 100 km/h as she says...but the boats are pretty darn fast 🚀

Yes, I laughed my cheeks off. And then she excuses herself: "This was pretty clooose!" :))
Thought I was on a whole different kind of video when that happened!
I like how the presenters voice is totally different on the boat.
Well, different microphones 🤷♂️
50 knots = less than 93 km/h. Why exaggerate when that's already fast?
0.5 km/h less.... I bet you did all that math and made that comment while wearing three masks..... and sitting on a traffic cone.
@@FREAKIN_BRYAN The title of the video says 100 km/h. That is the exaggeration I was referring to.
The current speed record in an F50 is 99.94 km/h, set by the French team
99 km/h = 60mph

The unspoken story here, is that the two top boats in SailGP are skippered by Australians, and yet we still have no Americas Cup entry of our own
The boats are made of Unobtanium, which has significant defense applications. I haven't studied the question, but I would expect there's a certain largesse commensurate with a market's defense budget.
America’s cup is too expensive it’s ridiculous y literally have only 3 clubs that have the money to challenge

My first time sailing we capsized and got trapped under the main sail. That didn't stop me from racing. You either love it or hate it.

Avid sailor once, makes sense , more volume on the nose.

"Good on you, Boys!"
Solar wind, carbon boats, meat and gristle + grit on deck, er, trampoline. "Hold fast!"
Now that's a different form of sailing!!
confusion. 50 knots = 92.6km/h. over 100km/h = about 54 knots. k

Foiling has brought sailing back as an exciting sport to watch. The monohull Americas cup was quite frankly boring to watch in the past
I think the opposite. For me the race is more boring with the sailors (except the helmsman) riding bycicle on the water.
I went into a wave pool once and freaked out when the wave was coming. So chicken little me wouldn’t do so great on one of these puppies.
"the equivalent of light speed"

In a way that’s not light speed at all, we have hit the equivalent of light speed.
@@Dominiqueuqinimod no we haven’t 😂
90 is light speed lol

when a boat is going the 50 or 100 - what is the ambient windspeed typically?
Have these people ever herd of a ac75

Wrong two of the team are Japanese also same for China because they are developing sailing nations so they get to have a few non Japanese or Chinese

That's about 62 mph if anyone else had the same question as me...
Poor reporting as the Brits were first to 50kts
Want to try it in my life
Amazing how "easily" they break that 50knots barrier! I mean just on a quick ride with press onboard..
They always seem to be nose-down even steady state. No wonder they pitch pole so easily

That depends on how crazy you are.

You just gotta be really good, have racing experience and be in the right place to put your name in the application.
If you don't mind a compromise you can try smaller more accessible foiling boats like moth or nacra.
With kites you could achieve more with less effort (a two person crew could operate it).
