As a young man I took to trimarans. The Family built a 32.5 foot Art Piver "Herald" trimaran in a year while living in Sitka, Alaska. I read all three of Art Piver's books, and I was in love with his concepts about ocean sailing. Another book I read was the 1963 edition of "The American Practical Navigator" by Nathaniel Bowditch. Captain Bowditch has been lauded as America's first Mathematician. He did untold hours of tedious calculation in correcting the reduction tables of the British. Bowditch was for many years the final authority of all things Navigation. I still have my Dad's Bowditch. Piver foresaw the day when these sleek boats would do 1,000 nautical miles in 24 hours. That record may be set. It is the Holy Grail of trimaran sailing. We sailed out boat to The Bahamas from 64-65. I turned 17 at the end of the voyage. Since then I have owned two Cross 38s, and I built another Piver while in the Army. Kathy and I sailed our Cross 38 from Bellingham, Washington to Nova Scotia. We spent 4 1/2 years enjoying the cruising life.
Makes me proud to own a trimaran, although it’s only 17 feet. It rips on SF bay! Out past the GG bridge, around Angel Island, down the SF waterfront and more. Makes you feel alive! Take that world record...cheers!
Mike Graves I have stage four cancer and felt inspiration from this video and thought I would state my personal accomplishments in regard to sailing. If that makes me a loser in your eyes I don’t give a fuck. 😎
@@MC-xw6vm cool. Didn't know they made them that size. My bro wants us to go in together and buy one. Of course it'll be a used monohull. Hope you have more lifetimes in each day than hours.
The scale of that beast is breathtaking! Gorgeous footage. Well done Yachting World! To me, the most astonishing thing is that this behemoth isn't even very extreme anymore. Considering that the Ultims racing around the Atlantic right now are full foiling rocket ships, Spindrift seems almost quaint by comparison. Thanks for the video!
I would like one weaponised so I could use it as my headquarters to execute an evil plan to take over the world. But an Ekranoplan is still in contention.
@@edwardtupper6374 good luck to weaponize a trimaran like that and pretend that is still capable of that speed, weapons are very heavy and wind is not always granted , but you can not equip it with an engine and the fuel as it also would add a lot of weight. If you want to be the evil mastermind that takes over the world in a not conventional way I strongly suggest you other ways, maybe steal some of those nuclear powered autonomous torpedoes that the Russians are building, they can be equipped with powerful thermonuclear bombs capable to damage a very large coastal area, instead of trying with something that is so easy to intercept and destroy and once weaponized will be fast as a sitting duck :;
I suspect that there is not a lot to see, some instrumentation, some very basic berths and as basic head and galley, just to allow the crew to sleep, poop and eat and somehow survive. On those extreme racing vessels weight reduction is everything, once you have seen one of them, and there is plenty of videos that show the interior of similar racing boats, you have seen them all, obviously unless you are a racing boats designer, then looking at what the others do is useful to better optimize what you do. Things like hey if I move that instruments panel from here to there I can spare some feet of cables so have a slight weight reduction...
@@-bnqe-3119 At least they will not be anywhere close to The Great Garbage Patch!...I was in the navy back in the late 70's early 80's we where becalmed in the doldrums on my first time out at sea I asked a chief petty officer what's up with all the garbage... His answer was "It is the place where things go to die"
Start in the English Channel, head towards the Southern Ocean, turn left at the Cape Of Good Hope and continue east, keeping Cape Leuwen and Cape Horn to your left.
Short lived as in under 20 hours it suffered a catastrophic steering system failure and abandoned its attempt at the Jules Verne Trophy. Maybe next time!
Cost to travel around the world: Free Cost to build the boat:priceless You to could travel over and over and over as much as you like for free. Just build the right one to keep and last longer then the rest... Great peace of art.

Élégance,sobriété des formes,entrées d’eau en lame de couteau, tout se joue sur la répartition des masses en mouvement et des forces sur les foils. J’espère qu’on aura des vues du bateau dans le gros temps face à des mers très formées et des déferlantes. En tout cas ,il y a longtemps que l’on avait pas vu des formes aussi pures.
Love this video. My poor ass will never get to be close to a boat like this let alone be on it . In a way I’m on it I had to grade school buddies one had a 68 Chris craft and one had a 78 ski notteak we had so much fun it was truly the funnest times of my life this reminds me of that and away . Excellent fun
Yachts were beautiful then for a few decades that were ugly now they have metamorphasised into things of great beauty again. What a beautiful vessel this is. Good luck and safe sailing!

@@olliefoxx7165 it's called a Windrider 17, not expensive but well built and easy to trailer. You can check em out online. Good luck amigo.
Well MC, continue enjoying life navigating or like most of us, on ground. Best wishes. As a joke, I do envy you having a boat.
Holy moly, she is beautiful. A beast wrapped up in silk.
So beautiful and elegant. The design and color, magnificent.
Thank you so much for not editing this down to second short epilepsy inducing shots.
Cool video but I was hoping it would show the inside of the boat and how the crew lives during the trip.
Inside it is close
Sleep and work they have no life, they serve the record and it's not live aboard paradise sail.
It is brutal in there
I believe there is a documentary on one of the attempts out on the web somewhere. But yeah, it’s brutal. Takes a special individual to crew that boat.
They're in a rush to beat a record at that time. No way they're gonna go MTV Cribs on that thing buddy.

You need to be very alert to take a foiling one across the pacific - these yachts are not so safe

Well, you'll have to hit that replay button about 230 times then.. 😺
@@utubeaccess7 haaahahaa!!
What amazing footage , hats off to the incredible crew and designers /builders.
Very well chosen soundtrack with video! Expresses mysteriousness, impressiveness and spaciousness, just like this boat and its crew!
The music is EPIC! GREAT choice
That is something to behold. Hats off to the Crew that is going to take grit good luck
A truely insane bit of kit.
And it's privately owned ..... !!! The sister of the Swiss Alinghi America's Cup team owner. Nice what money can do eh !?
Poetry in motion!! Man is this impressive!
2 👍 for the drone pilot!
I'm not sure if this is a drone. Going that fast following them. I'm thinking more to a helicopter
@@tschingol I fly drones,, I agree it might be helicopter, but there are drones strong enough,, wish the poster stated what it was
I agree with you and thought about that later
Impossible from a helicopter? With a well stabilized zoom? I disagree.
@@arctic_haze it was my original thought,,and with the right zoom,, yes,, thanks
Massive BRAVO! Triple power :VIDEO, music, sailing!
I would love to see a below deck tour of this magnificent vessel!

Like the no commentary from YW for a change. No words needed for this one
as a lifetime sailor, i have to love the telltales on the sails, in this digital age!
best flow indicator ever invented. In fact they use telltales on the U2 spy plane as a yaw indicator.
I love the shots of the man at the bow fixing rigging one-handed while the boat is blasting along!
@DATING HARLEY QUINN has to be, they have this pesky rule that you have to finish with the same crew you started with
@DATING HARLEY QUINN Same can happen at 5 knots, particularly at night or in any waves.
This Vessel of Beauty demands nothing less than utmost Respect and Concentration - Fair Winds ...
Fair Weather...Fast Winds!
@@photojones1 No floating objects !!!

Exquisite! I wish this was continued / looped. It's now a yr.+ I'll search for more ~
Thank you ~
Still the most beautiful and graceful trimaran ever built. I really hope the weather systems line up for Spindrift to take the honours.
It's by far the best looking trimaran currently on the seas. Thumbs up to Spindrift for not puting huge names on it with horrible colors.
Awesome ship, was wondering what route they took to try to beat the world record???
Southern Ocean the whole way round, the only way.
Start in the English Channel, head towards the Southern Ocean, turn left at the Cape Of Good Hope and continue east, keeping Cape Leuwen and Cape Horn to your left.
Hard to imagine what a flying machine like this cost. What a fabulous toy!
Fascinating and mesmerizing watching the way this thing moves through the water.
Such a beautiful trimaran!
Damn that's impressive,safe sailing to them all.
I HAD to switch that to a big screen to view.
Absolutely beautiful
That looks absolutely amazing. Incredible footage as well
Respect to drone pilot and videographer. Super!!!
Oh my , stunning Lady , good luck and wind speed to you all with her . Cheers.
Wow looks amazing...fair winds and all the best to them. Thanks for the footage
Short lived as in under 20 hours it suffered a catastrophic steering system failure and abandoned its attempt at the Jules Verne Trophy. Maybe next time!
Well they kinda say that every time they try...
I'm sad to hear this. Maybe they'll try again soon!
That boat is sick insane perfection
I can watch that all day!
Simply amazing! Must be nice flying this thing.
What a sight to behold. This way of sailing turns the sport right on its end.
Even with the “short” mast it powers given the wind.
Short Mast ???? 42m...
Staggeringly beautiful video!!
The look , design and build of this boat has made it one gorgeous work of Art !! Just Wow !!! ;-)
Beautiful boat and awesome music!
Just amazing, beautiful, elegant and impressive
I hv no sailing experience except for what i learned in boy scouts when I was 12 but this is the most awsome thing I've ever seen .
amazing engineering for a water sport that began as a simple trading of goods pt a to b. How many knots?
MAGNIFICENT VESSEL!!
BEAUTIFULLY MAJESTIC sailing across the vast open ocean!!
Cost to travel around the world:
Free
Cost to build the boat:priceless
You to could travel over and over and over as much as you like for free.
Just build the right one to keep and last longer then the rest...
Great peace of art.
Самый красивый тримаран!
Шикарное видео!!!
they are gliding through the world, looks awesome. Like flow…
Смотрел 200 раз, это фантастика!
13:43 Are those also working as hydrofoils, or is it just the wind lifting it?
There is not real lift provid by the shape of the arms when it "fly" it mainly because of the foils...
Fantastic videa could watch for hours.
I found it finally.
This is eternal class effort.
🍾🥐🇮🇸❤
Beautiful imagery. Lovely little clip.
Who composed the music ? With video blend .
Gorgeous. Incredible videography.

That was the most inspiring video that i have ever watched!!!!!
Trimaran envy. wicked boat.
I'm no expert but my concern would be for its performance in the Southern Ocean.. Could it be righted if it overturned? (capsized doesn't seem to be the right word)
serious boat .. what on earth did that cost ,, and out of curiosity , whats the record its trying to beat .
She rides on the water like she is light as a feather! Someone is very good at math and design.
What happened to the Schumacher Electric Trimaran? Can't find any info of it online, even though it used to be on the cover of Multihull World and the like!
Look at her fly! She’s dancing! 😊
Reminds me of "WATER WORLD" starring Kevin Costner.
😎👍👍
I would love to do this some day.
Many many AWESOME aquatic adventures shipmates!
⚓⛵⚓⛵⚓⛵⚓⛵⚓⛵⚓⛵
Absolutely beautiful, captivating. 😊
Is there any usable space in the outrigger hulls?
What a beast of a machine!
Nice boat
But the best is the one man crew 👍
Alone around the world is the craziest thing !
One of my forebears, Joshua Slocum was the first to circumnavigate the globe solo in the late 19th century.

Great
I wish I could have done it too
Congratulations to him

It flys along in pedestrian seas, some footage of larger swells, and its capacity would be nice.
Aubury sorry to break it you but those weren’t just pedestrians seas..
Great music and great drone footage....
They had major rudder problems and abandoned this attempt on Dec 4th. Crew is safe.
Sad to see that. seems like a huge effort . better luck next time.
Said the fake news douchebagger! You can’t steal our joy...
what kind of music, who is the composer, from where ?
Wow. The heel is cantered too right?
Stunningly beautiful Tri!
Video EXCELLENT 👍
Interesting way of qualifying sailboats. Isn't it rather 40 metre? Trouble with the metric system?
Anyone know are there cabins in the center/main hull? Do crewmembers rotate shifts to rest, eat, sleep, etc.??
Such a beautiful ship!
Did they make it? Beautiful boat!
I watched with a slack jaw as this played. Only closed my mouth at the end. Wow
Jeez 40 knots? My rib cant even take this
Would it capsize without the foils?
Beautiful to watch.❤️🇨🇦
Just one Word, Beautiful
Love this video. My poor ass will never get to be close to a boat like this let alone be on it . In a way I’m on it
I had to grade school buddies one had a 68 Chris craft and one had a 78 ski notteak we had so much fun it was truly the funnest times of my life this reminds me of that and away . Excellent fun
My question is : Is there a difference between HydoFoiling and Sailing?
What is someone falls off. Do they go back or continue. How to protect against that
Every crew member is rigged to the boat with a leash to prevent going overboard.
What kind of speeds is she capable of?
Can you please tell me the titles of the music tracks in the video? Thank you.
Beautiful sailboat .
Are they talking about around the actual world or do they have a selected area that they run and claim is around the world?
That’s very impressive, doubt they can do that in the southern oceans with a half comatose crew.
What a gorgeous ship!
What a machine!!!!
That’s a great video of a beautiful vessel
Serious tech! Killer speed. Geemanee!
Yachts were beautiful then for a few decades that were ugly now they have metamorphasised into things of great beauty again. What a beautiful vessel this is. Good luck and safe sailing!
