    Was hoping to learn how it's possible to sail at triple the wind speed. Instead, we got three minutes of "It's exciting."

      @garrettg5130 3 ปีที่แล้ว +76

      Yeah definitely agree.
      Here's my basic understanding:
      Sails work not only by catching the wind, but also by generating lift like an airplane wing. Ironically because of this boats are faster going across from the wind (aka beam reach) than completely down wind (dead run).

  • @michaelhermans4753
    @michaelhermans4753 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    While everyone is focused on the foils the real breakthrough in this cup is in the rigging. There are hydraulic cylinders and lines going into the kiwi boom and mast that they are just starting to tweak
    Because the speed changes are so rapid, sail shape has to match that speed, so you have to go from full to flat in seconds and it’s constantly changing,
    I think this is the main reason the kiwi boat looses less speed thru the turns than the challengers while the straight line speeds are very similar

  • @nickd698

    I cant believe there are still the old school sailing fans knocking these amazing pieces of innovation. Top end racing should be about maximising what technology is available at the time, so what if it isnt the same as it used to be, there are countless opportunities to watch traditional sailing races. This is cutting edge and how it should be. Amazing! Cant wait for the racing and can.t wait for a world series being developed for these boats.

    • @edfrawley4356
      @edfrawley4356 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Racing boats are as far ahead of regular sail boats as Formula one cars are from the regular grocery getter. And that's the way it should be. Hopefully there will be some technology transfer down the line to aid regular sailors but there will be no advancement if the sport is not allowed to innovate. As long as the boat lives in the water and is powered by her sails its all good.

    I loved the old ac class boat that raced in 2000, '03 and '07...and i never liked catamarans to play America's Cup....
    These new AC75 are, i think, the best compromise between the old mono-hull boats and the new foil technology.
    I love them. They can have match race to extremely high speed and at the same time they look like the old ac class mono hull.
    The only thing that disappoint me is the low number of challengers...i hope that the winner will keep the same boat format... :)

      ​@@giancarlic1 Anche a me mancano i vecchi monoscafi e quel tipo di regate che avevano molto più fascino. Ed ero scettico anche io all'inizio su queste barche. Ma bisogna fare i conti con la realtà: ad oggi delle regate come quelle fino al 2007 le guarderemmo in troppo poche persone per giustificare un ritorno economico per gli investitori: lente e poco "televisive".
      Oggi invece i team investono in tecnologie che stanno già avendo ricadute sulla produzione di serie, le barche che filano a 40 nodi permettono di avere tempi tv in linea coi tempi di oggi e soprattutto attirano un pubblico molto più vasto. Senza contare che una volta si spendevano milioni di $ per guadagnare mezzo nodo, oggi con la stessa cifra ne guadagni 5 di nodi di velocità.
      Io penso che gli altri consorzi adesso si stiano un po' mangiando le mani visto il successo che sta avendo a livello di visibilità.
      Infine, bisogna tenere conto che le World Series sono state una "scusa" per spettacolarizzare i test delle barche che sono andate in acqua un paio di mesi prima. Io sono stracerto che la Prada Cup sarà molto più spettacolare: stanno ancora imparando come portare al limite le barche e c'è un margine ancora enorme sul come sfruttarle in termini di tattiche sia di partenza sia di navigazione pura.
      Vedremo ;)

But this really is a technical class. The rigs, hulls, foils, rudder, hydraulics, software systems... It's a huge undertaking to get one of these boats together. Hopefully they will keep this class rule for a couple of cycles. As it becomes better understood the development costs should come down, the racing should become closer, and hopefully more teams will get involved.

    When I used to race RC tunnel hulls and hydros, I got “called” all the time by competition. Judges would always want to look at the engine. It was stock. The loser/caller was allowed to buy the engine which they often did. I’d drop on another new stock engine and still win. It was the boat hull, turn blade and the tuned prop. Well within the rules. Just before race and after inspection I’d nonchalantly swap the prop for a dog performance one, because people loved to copy. Not giving away what I developed lol. Hydrodynamics is the name of the game. Sometimes just a very subtle change makes things just fly.

      because a sail isn't like blowing on a napkin, its more akin to wind, the wind over the sail applies a force, through the mast, to the hull of the boat. So you can get, through pressure forces, a force pushing the boat which, because they have so much little hull in contact with the water, and thus drag, is relatively very high.

      Sails are not directly pushed by the wind, that would actually limit the max speed of the boat to something less than the speed of the wind. The wind just gets diverted in a different direction. This change in direction applies a force to the sail. If you have a big sail, the quantity of wind you can divert is big, that means that the mass of the wind you forced to change direction is big. If the mass of your boat is less than the mass of the wind you diverted, and the friction of your hull doesn't dissipate that energy, you'll get an acceleration and a final speed greater than the initial wind speed. In another way, think of a teeter tooter: if a light person sits further along the arm she could balance an heavier person who sits closer to the center. Now think about the heavier person jumping on the teeter tooter, in a point as further from the center: the lighter person would be thrown in the air with a speed greater than the speed with wich the heavier person landed on the teeter tooter. In physics it's called conservartion of momentum.

    • @rydenkaye9735
      @rydenkaye9735 ปีที่แล้ว

      You’ll never see 60+ on one of these ACs because foils start cavitating around 50knts. Basically the lower pressure the lower temperature is required to boil water. At about 50 knots the pressure on the lifting face of the foil is so low ocean temperature water starts to boil, making a air pocket around the foil and making flight to unstable and the boat will crash.

    @josvei4052 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sailboats works like airplanes, they don't do what they do because they are pushed by the wind that moves below the wing or sail, they do it lifted by the lower pressure of the wind that travels close to the top surface of the wing or sail, in the case of sail, that means the the wind had to come at angle against the boat so as it sails this wind will become apparent wind at lower angle to the boat, so that wind will run on the front of the sail at lower pressure than the wind that run on the back of the sail, the difference of pressure between the front and back of the sail generate a force that pulls the boat forward, if the sail is big and rigid enough the force will pull hard enough to make the boat sails faster than the surrounding wind.

    Saling at Triple the Wind Speed is very realistic at light wind. I measure 12 knots board speed at 4 knots wind on my hydrofoil. But my board speed becomes similar to wind speed at 30 knots. Modern kite foilers can do 4x wind speed. It is actually confusing experience to go faster than wind. Wind is 4 knots and you feel apperent wind 12 knots and you start thinking that wind is picking up but it is just your speed.

    Object A; starts the gradual curve to the end (tail/stern) point at 50% of the length.
    Object B; starts the gradual curve to the end (tail/stern) point at 75% of the length.
    Simple Question: which object is faster given everything else is constant; Object A or Object B.

    No clickbait here. The title does not say how it’s possible to sail faster than wind speed. Kind of simple really, think how a fan blade pushes air by moving across with the angled blade, blowing a stream of air slower than the blade is moving. Now think of it in reverse. The wind blows on a rigid sail, and the boat and sail move across at a faster speed than the wind. The triangle formed can predict the approximate ratio, - direction of wind, direction of motion, and the sail.
