    Imagine Columbus had one of those. 3,5 days to cross the atlantic ocean instead of 70 :D

    Hey Yachting World, Matthew has done some great work bring us news on Spindrift 2, Beneteau experiment with a Wingsail and other yachting info. How about a followup on these topics? Thanks!

    The Sunreef 210' Power and the Echo 'White Rabbit' are the largest trimarans to date at 210 feet. White Rabbit's sistership is 185' long. The Adastra is 155' long.

    Was the hull also modified? She sims slimmer in the outriggers than Banque Populaire was unless I'm mistaken.

    More videos of the maxi Spindrift 2 on our TH-cam channel, with a special web series "40msolo" dedicated to Yann Guichard's next challenge. The French skipper will sail single-handed in the upcoming Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe on November 2nd. Join us on the social networks and encourage him in his adventure...

    The aim is to reduce the crew to zero, so she will sail the fastest!

      Waterworld was filmed on two different early ORMA 60 trimarans, less than half the length of this boat. One of the prop boats was then renamed "Loe Real" and raced in Southern California. th-cam.com/video/TA7TTdg_Lfk/w-d-xo.html

    Kevin Costner sailed his boat alone and it was much faster! You need to take some hints from his boat.

    LCS-2 would like to dispute the bogus claim about it being the world's biggest trimaran, by definition of a trimaran.

    • @screaminglegs
      @screaminglegs 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Most outlets are careful to qualify that claim by stating that S2 is the largest racing trimaran sailboat, because it's not even the longest sailing trimaran. Without those qualifiers, it's a bogus claim.

    I thought the biggest trimaran was in the US Navy.

  • @Wolfpack1254

    I wonder if I could single hand that beast? Ha, ha, just kidding. I single handed a 24 ft Corsair in the Alaskan panhandle... does that count? Best fishing I ever did in my life.

    47 KPH... that's about 30 MPH.

    • @greygtv6
      @greygtv6 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's 47 knots. That equates to 54 mph or 87 kph. Pretty damn quick for a sailboat.

    • @edwardcatlett9446
      @edwardcatlett9446 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, the trimaran configuration is way MORE stable for the amount of sail carried than ANY other type of sailing craft

    how do these handle in a storm compared to a single hull?

    • @ZoneTelevision
      @ZoneTelevision 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Trimarans are enormously capable in big seas.

    • @Sugarsail1
      @Sugarsail1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      For racing, modern routing software deliberately routes these boats into storms where the best wind is since they are so fast they can "ride" the storm front as it moves. Riding storm fronts is essential for record breaking...so yeah, they handle storms fine you could say.

    pickle fork...

    • @Sugarsail1
      @Sugarsail1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      it' s not, the main hull is longer, pickle fork has the amas longer.
