As a teenager ( 15 ) on an interstate end of year 4 week trip, I saw Ken running speed trials down the dam in 78. Holy crap that thing was loud. As country kids we didnt see many things that went fast. To see that craft ripping past at over 300mph with about 200 feet of rooster tail was something ill always remember. Our tour bus broke down for 4 days and we had zip to do while we waited for parts. It was a pity we were on the opposite side of the water to where they were camped or we would have had some up close views of this awesome speedster. Still amazes me that he built it in his back yard and it still holds the water speed record to this day. His top speed comeing out of the measured km traps was 345 mph. Averaged with his opposite direction ( 1st ) run, gave the record of 317.58 mph. He and his son are looking to break this record with a new boat. Hope they get it done .
Ken Warby is an Aussie legend and will be 84 years old in May this year. World Record was set at Blowering Dam. Tumut. NSW. on 8th October 1978. The day after my Birthday.
I can truly appreciate what it takes to run a watercraft at speed. So far the fastest I've driven on water is 73.4 mph. It's completely unlike doing the same speed on land. There's so much information to process and every input on the wheel is magnified. I just bought a new boat and we hit 84 mph on the test run. I'm sure it will take quite a bit of wheel time to feel comfortable driving it over 75 myself, much less the 90+ mph it's capable of. At just over 21' in length and a hull under 1,500lbs, weight and balance of the boat are critical too. You definitely can't just hop into one and drive it like you stole it!
Unfortunately, Ken Warby passed away just a few weeks ago. He was testing a new boat to challenge his own record, but passed from age related complications. He was 83.
Ken Warby, the world water speed record holder, died last week. Would have been happy though that his record still stands. His boat is on display at the Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia. One very bloody brave man indeed.
I'm so very sorry to hear that he's passed on. He was a life-long hero of mine - I've seen his boat many times and often visit Blowering Dam when I'm in the Snowies. Vale Ken.
One of your best videos. Lots of information on a rare subject that most know little about. You found the fastest boats across every genre including sail boats and luxury yachts. The focus time on each was perfect, just enough to keep me interested and informed without feeling like something was left out like many of these broad spectrum videos I find here. If you ever question your talent and wonder if you're doing the right thing go back and watch this video, study it. Then, re-adhere to the structure and principles in this one. Nice work, sir.
The guy who salvaged BlueBird first collected Donald Campbell’s bones. Placed them in a box while at the bottom of the lake and when he surfaced he presented them too Campbell’s daughter as a mark of respect. He a British legend so plz get it right 🤦🏻♂️✌️🇬🇧
The fastest I have driven at sea is 71 Miles / 114 Kmh, this is now about 25 years ago. When you see these "water-going fighters" it is just "Jogging" in comparison. But it was fast for a self-refurbished 16 feet with a (self-refurbished) 130 outboard engine. It cost me about 2500 US + a lot of petrol to have it for two summers, but it was fun too. After that I have not been over 15 knots, thanks for a good video (all the boats were old familiar) 💖💖
Big time ! Shit the GPs! Can’t wait to see 13-15 of them at the tripe crown races this year ! Haven’t had that many boats of that caliber since the year all the UL’s came to valley field
Bras D'or is pronounced "bra door". The hydrofoil was based on work done by Alexander Graham Bell on the Bras D'or lake in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. The Blue Bird name came from Donald's father, Sir Malcolm Campbell, who also chased the water speed record. Malcolm held both water and land speed records during his lifetime.
Pretty incredible, I personally know the gentleman who owns Problem Child, he took me to the place to have a look at it and all its engines, intakes, transmissions, it was absolutely surreal.
9:33 Fastest WARSHIP perhaps, but it's not a battleship. It's also barely IF AT ALL faster than ships like the Pegasus (which was a similar US hydrofoil design).
and then it's the thing of military ships that still is in use that still some aspects is kept secret. take the KNM Skjold class, they are corvettes "certified" (aka, what they want to leak of info) for 60 knots but that is with the power-output they had when released, a number that have been increased.
@@brrebrresen1367 It's an old story about the military wanting to "keep something in reserve", but it's gotten badly outdated in this age of sat recon. I suspect it's more "force of habit" today.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 yes, because Bell developed the idea, but these early hydrofoils were based more directly on his work and allowed improvements for later boats. Now, with computer modelling and better unddrstanding of profile effects and other aspects of wing design, we have moved well past it.
I remember going to the SDBA (Southern Drag Boat Association) races in Texas as a kid. Those things were insanely fast. My mothers friend owned a boat called predator which was fairly fast (160+ mph) but wasn’t even close to some in the higher classes. I remember boats like Aquaholic that were nitrous oxide fed absolutely stupid fast. I can remember one wrecking in the water and it was quite a sight. Front started hitting the water and rising up higher each time until it hit the water a final time and disintegrated. Took about 20 minutes to fish the capsule with the driver out. They were only able to salvage the engine sadly.
A few years ago a group found and restored Sir Donald Campbell record breaking boat, which had its last run and accident on Coniston lake during a record attempt.
Back in the 1960s Racing craft called Canada 4 almost set record of 205 mph on Lake Muskoka , However the engine quit with in several hundred feet of the finish line and record was not broken. This vessel can be located at a museum in Gravenhurst Ont today
I had gotten seriously close untill I had one of the oarlocks failed then exploded and caused a catestropic failure... causing the boat to tumble and sink.killing the the oarsman on impact. No bodies were ever found.
Brilliant video and fabulous craft, thanks for giving us the speeds in Km and MPH, (knots as well of course) very handy for us not used to Km speeds and landlubbers! Very well done, great filming and very clear narration. Love this.
There are some much faster foiling sailing boats than the catamaran you showed - quite few that have done short sails at close to 50kn and longer sails at ~35kn.
A little tidbit here on Ken Warbiy's boat the spirit of Australia Ken did a one way pass at a little over 400 miles per hour but could not back it up . One of the most impressive feats I have ever heard to build a boat in your garage and run it with $100 dollar bought surplus turbines against million dollar sponsored teams and hold a record for over 45 years . Proof their that the little guy can still win .
@@haney3435 Then consider that many of the fastest carriers are even faster - and MORE powerful. I once saw in excess of 39 knots on USS Ranger during REFTRA before our 1979 WestPac tour - and that does NOT appear to have been a record.
Mason McGovern sadly most of what you were told in this video is actually incorrect or incomplete at best. This is not a video you want to remember anything it reported as it is simply not true and certainly not the fastest 15 boats in any way. Claiming they never recovered cambells body when they absolutely did and it is fully documented in the film produced when they retrieved the wreckage years later. This video is really garbage when it come to actually reporting any true real facts.
Please change the information on Malcolm Campbell. He was, in fact, recovered, in 2001 when they recovered the original Bluebird. It's one of those things I've been fascinated by even as a kid when I saw the film of the ill-fated attempt. It is all documented by the crew diving crew that did the recovery.
#13 Spirit of Qatar It's been in storage in a warehouse in Pinelass Park, Fl for years. Apparently no one wants to spend millions on a boat that they can't do anything with anymore. The narrator says the hope is someone will bring it back to racing? I know the guy who has been storing it for years for the team. He's just hoping they pay their storage fees soon. That one boat takes up a third of his space.
I know the guy who owns the NEED FOR SPEED boat, he used to own a duel turbine boat years ago. He didnt like the smell of the fuel, it made him puke lol.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
Since you made this film about Bluebird. Donald Cambells remains have been found and are interred in a graveyard in Parish Cemetery in Hawkshead Old Road, Coniston in the Lake District. I've been there and it was a very emotional time as I watched the original film of the attempt and the crash that killed him. jc
Given equal power equipment, I suspect Skaters and MTIs would run fairly equal speeds. Skaters would probly be a little faster, given that Peter Hledin has been building them so much longer than Randy.
Both MTI and Douglas Marine make a very good boat. Both er competitive. It's asinine to claim that a Skater is much better than an MTI. I prefer Peter's boats, but I know what the MTI's can do.
@@EverettCox-g8z Boat are custom boats more or less. If we look at them from the perspective of performance pleasure boats, Randy builds the faster boat right now. This is because Peter does more to create dedicated pleasure variants of his hulls. Randy's pleasure boats are based more on his race designs. They take more power to move, but they are a bit more capable. As far as race boats go, they are more or less the same.
At these speeds, water is like concrete when you hit it. Double the speed and quadruple the resistance of the water. That's the reason why you can't shoot someone with a gun if he's down on 3 meters of water, but you can hit him with a crossbow arrow.
Like how we saw 2 C5000(race) mystics both with turbines. Also if I’m not mistaken. Literally the same Hull… I believe I cannot remember if the Quatar mystic is the Ex JBS or Aqua Maria hull. Also the mystics look like there 50ft based on there name and other info listing them as that. But really there more like 48.. Also no mystics build with a canopy, American ethanol, my way, envy, df young(cintron), Geico, bud light, jbs, aqua marie, all were built with surface drives. None with stern drives.
At 16:44. In regard to Donald Campbell and his K7 world record attempt on 4th January 1967, his body was eventually recovered from Lake Coniston in 2001.
Who made this video? I laughed my ass off when he mentions cigarette boats and smuggling alcohol during prohibition. it was not during the prohibition and it definitely was not alcohol that was being smuggled . it was during the 80s and it was a lot worse than alcohol! you should probably do more research before you submit a Miss informative video.
Good video but it would be helpful knowing the speeds in inches per second, feet per day, yards per minute, centimeters per afternoon and astronomical units per dog year
This was a good video...but the yachts need updating....the latest Americas cups boats are alot faster, not to mention the Vendee Globe yachts or even some of the French tris that race....they are alot faster than that cat you showed...perhaps you can update it with just yachts and no so many powerboats?
Stationed in Ket West Fl (USCG), I witnessed many a race back in the 80s/90s.....seen many a drug smuggler salivate at gazing at any of these speed monsters....

The yellow boat in the teaser photo is not in the video.
+yeah. the main reason
Like how we saw 2 C5000(race) mystics both with turbines. Also if I’m not mistaken. Literally the same Hull…
I believe
I cannot remember if the Quatar mystic is the Ex JBS or Aqua Maria hull.
Also the mystics look like there 50ft based on there name and other info listing them as that. But really there more like 48..
