I would love to see them crack the 55 knot /100kmph mark , not quite the 225 kmh of the fastest land yacht but way more drag on water to contend with and cavitation to worry about. At least they are running sails making the design race more relevant to other forms of more accessible sailing.
Yawn.. the Foiling Boats always drags out the "it's not sailing" traditionalist dinosaurs... Guess what, there are hundreds of traditional displacement sailing events annually around the world annually, that no one watches because to most it is dull as dishwater (except me, I'm a passionate displacement racer). The Americas Cup has never been about the sailing, it has always been a Design Competition about the best &. fastest tech of the day.
What puzzles me more than these cranks and their incessant kvetching is their insistence on watching the foiling AC boat videos. As much as they hate foiling they can't seem to stay away from the videos...
Tiny Switzerland with the largest lake in Europe is once again showing its meticulous watch like design of a 21st century sailing boat. Facing top quality contenders, I wish them the very best. They deserve to win...like all the others. Hmm, I'm still a bit worried about that tipping hull. Hope it just needs some practice to keep its nose dry.
@@General_Crock Like all those famous watches like Rolex, Omega etc. Men and women coming from all parts of the world are involved at designing and making them. The Swiss touch remains.
I wonder which Swiss lake is the largest in the Europe? Afaik Laatokka (Ladoga in english?) is the biggest lake in Europe, which is over 30 times larger than Lake Geneva.
Looking /comparing Alinghis and NZ underwater shape, Alinghi has a small range of advantages in mid range wind. Alinghi to much uplift in high wind spectrum and to less in low wind spectrum. In strong wind high speed even dangerous due to high very compression by high waves, with jumping effects - compresse,air can‘t flow away. Expect several damages and to much problems for RudderMen.
It literally is sailing. It's a boat, it floats, has a rudder and keels and sails. It derives its motion from the power of the wind. It may not be your cup of tea but it's disingenuous to say it's not sailing.
This was very interesting. I can't wait for your analysis of ETNZ.
Great contribution. Thanks!
Do a lot more of these videos please!
Glad you enjoyed it. We've got more of these coming so keep an eye out for those in the coming weeks
Great video, be really interesting to see your thoughts on the other boats

I'd like to hear your thoughts on American Magic.
There is plenty of displacement and planing racing in the sailing world still. I say let them fly!!!

quite frankly, yachting world, I don't care unless you strap Toby to this thing and let him give us his review
😄
Did Red Bull have a wind tunnel big enough for that design? ... I'll bet they've wind tunnel tested at least a scale model.

Except none of the designers are Swiss, of course. All Spanish save for a Uruguayan. Nonetheless, Allez Alinghi!

@@markohanninen3889 In Western Europe, sorry. By the way, Lake Léman is often wrongly named Lake Geneva.
Switzerland has almost double the population of New Zealand.

This is not sailing!.
@@TFT-bp8zk Yawn.
it s a new different kind of sailing , like F1 are not real normal car same as Dakar cars....same same but different

Go and join a J-boat crew then.
Do flying boats trigger your fragility?
