    Hydroptere. Even the name is fucking amazing.
    I can't imagine the feeling of sailing in one of those. Spectacular.

    47 knots is a rocket ship man. I can barely imagine... and I made my living on sailboats for over 17 years. Sponsored many events, regattas, national and world championships... even sponsored individual team riders for our then new Alpha sailboards... one of which held the speed record of production boards. A little faster than the 47 knots, BUT It was smaller than a slalom ski, but comprehending a true sail vessel, hydra-foil or not at 47 knots posses a lot of questions. truly uncanny. luck 2u

    I still can't imagine the feeling of riding this glorious beast... And I've been windsurfing, kiteboardind, sailing, skiing on water... but this... this is a whole different league.
    What a tribute to techology...

    I am no sailboat/hydofoil expert by any means but got to thinking about your question and thought maybe it has to do with turning? Seems it should be easier to turn with the foils canted inward as apposed to out, but once again I am no expert.

    vessel speed at sea was measured using a chip log. This was a wooden panel, weighted on one edge to float perpendicular to the water surface, and present resistance to moving with respect to the water around it, attached by line to a reel. The chip log was "cast" over the stern and the line allowed to pay out. Knots placed at a distance of 47 feet 3 inches passed through a sailor's fingers, while another sailor used a 30 second sand-glassto time the operation.

    Saw this awsome piece of boat flying at the Solent earlier on this year doing around 30kts,unfotunately it was unable to perform its outstanding top speed due to various obstacles around the Solent like buoys

    @1955thekeeper
    Didn't look any different from any yacht race I've ever seen. What you were seeing is them trimming it out for maximum speed.. they weren't on a pleasure cruse.
    Wonder what the minimum speed to get it aloft is... that would be more the question as to the success of the design. Bottom line is that any time you can reduce your waterline to about a foot and a half it's got to be a plus. (grin) I loved it.

  • @derkiesterkie
    @derkiesterkie 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    beautiful vid!! But why aren't all these guys attached to the boat with life-lines? We probably all remember the accident with the Volvo Ocean Race couple years ago...

  • @biscayforce12
    @biscayforce12 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you watch the vid. from 1.07 minutes the maneuver the are performing IS a jybe. The boat keeps it's speed and therefore can complete the jybe and not come off the foils, but it needs very quick crewing skills, hence the frantic rope pulling.

  • @PDSalling
    @PDSalling 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would want a mouth guard, seat belt, life jacket, and crash helmet to take this ride!!! In 2004 I crashed my own catamaran running fast, in a down wind luff, only going about 1/2 the rate of this machine. The boat pitchpoled, I was fastened to the boat with a strong hiking strap over my left knee. The rapid deceleration inflicted a whip-lash injury at the top of my hips, breaking my third lumbar ! The lesson? Going fast is fun, stopping fast, much less so !
    Happy sailing!

  • @1955thekeeper
    @1955thekeeper 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @PaleHearse I believe that I acknowledged every aspect of the "record speed achievement", which you refer to in your reply. I am not of the yacht race set, however the success of the design should also accomplish the task of allowing the crew to trim their craft with the least amount of peril to themselves. The whole procedure appeared to be pitched on the edge of a razor blade as it concerns crew safety. Pleasure cruise aside, running the equator of the craft every 20 seconds is crazy!

  • @RespektDat

  • @scapegoat18usc3059
    @scapegoat18usc3059 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    I beleive the two devices (hydro stabalizers/whatever?) that reach into the water at each of the wings may be moved inwards or outwards by the driver. Depending on the feel of the craft the driver makes the slight adjustments at the wheel. You dont see him moving the wheel much. that is my view/opinion.

  • @piersparfitt

  • @TheGeoffable
    @TheGeoffable 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @JeffStoleman That did take a broken rib to be fair. On the upside, you can get the whole setup in your car. Stunning effort though, reminded me of the Ekranoplan ground-effect thing, I wonder if that's the next step?

  • @finding_mojo
    @finding_mojo 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    That as amazingly fast for a wind driven vessel, incredible how little of the hull was in the water, just the foils, no wonder they could reach such speeds and all that with a reef or two in the mainsail!

  • @Putonyourfknshoes
    @Putonyourfknshoes 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    they dont need it. combination of balast and the width of them is enough to keep it upright its just like having a really heavy person on a really long wing then trapese because the hulls are so far away from the centerline

  • @BLONDESPrfrGENTLEMEN
    @BLONDESPrfrGENTLEMEN 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    incredible.. almost 50 knots.. really impressive.. fully agree with kally jones.. imagine if you would pass one of the fastest tea-clippers some 200 years ago with a speedie like that.. wow.. the sailors would have had some more "tales" to tell about the
    "flying dutchman"..

  • @javierlopez2022
    @javierlopez2022 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    What was the wind speed?
    I think there is too much wing breaking the sea surface and there is too much ship over the sea. Also the sails could be changed by airplane wing better than old stile sails.
    It could be done much better, I am sure.

  • @jimbojims

    does anyone know how much that boat is worth? an awesome video with amazing sailors

  • @Fidelio0690
    @Fidelio0690 17 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well as i see the hydroptere is like 2-3 meters above sea level, and if a wave comes that is higher than that a bow of hydroptere would ram in it and it will slow down so intense that probably it's mast would crack. No matter of it's hydrofoil
    If you looked on Americas Cup in 2003 for Team New Zealand a sail was hit by a wave and the mast cracked.

  • @Titchie92
    @Titchie92 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    i reckon its to do with the apparent wind. When it gets going it may be better as there is less air resistance? Prob not but heyy.

  • @scapegoat18usc3059
    @scapegoat18usc3059 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have an email that states two more will be built , one a smaller test craft and a larger version which will sail around the world. It is not clear if the "larger" craft is bigger than this craft shown here. This will be interesting.

    wonderful would be a great time to fly that boat. I'm amazed that the main is reefed down to what seems to be half mast. I'd like to see this boat with a ridged wing sail.

  • @Fontastique
    @Fontastique 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    to all the people that are annoyed by people that simply post "fake" as a comment. You need to understand that they don't actually think its fake, they just post the comment to wind people up. Its a trend on youtube, loads of videos get the same comments. So don't waste your time trying to reason them, its a waste of energy. Just ignore them.

  • @scapegoat18usc3059
    @scapegoat18usc3059 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know anything about this craft but it appears to be built quit differantly than a trimaran which I don't know anything about either (forgive me). It just seems to me it would have some extra drag if it couldn't hydroplane properly. It appears to be made to hydoplane and needs to be going above a certain speed to do it. None of us know anything much about this because it seems they are keeping alot of this secret and for their good reasons. Yes in fair conditions but what about rough?

  • @LivinTheEnglishDream
    @LivinTheEnglishDream 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    I personally doubt it could go around the world, as in 60 knots there is too much force on the hydrofoils and it just pitchpoles. And round cape horn the wind is usually around 60 knots.
    For lift, it uses hydrofoils which are like plane wings but use water not air to generate lift.

  • @Fidelio0690
    @Fidelio0690 17 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think you would need to slow your speed, cause when you hit a wave with that speed i think mast would broke up, cause the hull would slow down too quick and there would be a moment that would crack a mast.

  • @scapegoat18usc3059
    @scapegoat18usc3059 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't think this craft could go around the world as the waves would be to large to allow it to hydroplane. I think this video is just off the coast or in a large Bay because of the size of the waves. This might be a great test craft for larger crafts that could go across the ocean. Just my view. Maybe it could go across a Ocean but I don't think so.

  • @jwboll
    @jwboll 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    if the boat started to lean, the hydrofoil would not work, the high side would pick up out of the water and the low side would sink and act as an extra rudder. probably causing all kinds of steering issues.
