You should change the title of this video, the record was set by an Italian yacht called DESTRIERO, unbeaten record from 1992 until today. No refueling, non stop. 52K hp, 67 meters monster. 58kn AVERAGE speed during the record crossing. Made by Fincantieri, Italy.
It was denied for almost the same reason this one was. While this boat didn't make it because it stopped to refuel and it wasn't a commercial boat. The one you mentioned didn't have to be refueled, it also wasn't a commercial boat, so it didn't get the ribbon either.
Boat was bought again and underwent 500.000 (British) renovation after sitting in boatyard for yrs and deteriorating,still for sale as April 2017,for 650.000(ad says"price reduction"), on Apollo Duck website,owner hoping a maritime museum will purchase(or anyone else I would imagine)
Thank goodness they accomplished this magnificent feat! Definitely worth all that money and celebration.... and a 1000 lives it could have saved. What a waste....
Why are people so mean and hate those who have nice things....it's just not right even if you don't have the money to buy nice things...it's just not right to be jealous of others success....
F...k... How is't stupidy do not drain the water/condencate from the fuel service tanks!!! It should to know every engine cadet! Maybe, they haven't any one, just a honored and now very reach Chief Engineer one.
This is not even an ocean liner, so a large 50,000 ton ship getting beaten by a overpowered yacht, kind of pathetic, like bragging to beat a semi trailer truck in a race with a Ferrari. Therfore, SS united States is the last fastest passenger ship had crossed the Atlantic.
After reading your failed attempt at irony, I suggest you save lives by selling your computer, discontinuing your broadband subscription and giving the money to the 3rd world. Practice what you preach!
The record set by the American passenger liner and current Blue Riband holder 'United States.' Going from west to east it took 3days, 10hrs and 40mins at an average speed of 35.59 knots set in 1952. Branson, going from west to east, took 3 days, 8 hours and 31 minutes at an average speed of 36.65 knots. However. the Blue Riband and subsequent 'Hales Trophy' is for in service passenger liners, carrying passengers and is not judged on fastest outright crossing but on fastest average speed, as different ships would take different routes, some longer, some shorter, depending on prevailing conditions. Because of this Branson was denied the Hales Trophy as his vessel was classed as a private yacht and not a commercial vessel. As a result Branson instigated a new trophy the 'Virgin Atlantic Challenge Trophy.' This is a trophy for the outright fastest Atlantic crossing by a surface vessel. Hope that helps:-) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Riband
The fastest sailing transatlantic world record is only 16 hours behind the powerboat record. That's amazing when no refueling and using just the wind.
That's why sailboat remain the the holder of circumnavigation speed records

Except you did not tell us how long it took!

@@TheNoiseySpectator58hrs,34min, 40 sec.
Idiot. That boat is as relevant as flying concorde.
And the fact they took 7 hours to fix the problems with water being in the fuel and still beat the record

Very exciting..I wish I could have been on that ride. My father had boat years ago. Great times on the Pacific ocean...
They should have used a hydrofoil instead.
Only you Sir. ....only you.....that's a big boat and fast too....just like you Sir commander Sir big and fast. ...lol
SS United States............Sorry Richard although I loved your 747-400 from Gatwick to Vegas 2013. Jay from Bray Co Wicklow Ireland.
so what was the time?
Google it.
Shouldn't have to. Very poorly-narrated video.
3d8h31m. But the current holder, at 2d10h54m, is the Destriero. Before that was the Gentry Eagle at 2d14h7m.
@@ivanabcdefg9375 THANK YOU!
Reoportng the time the crossing took should not be too much to ask!
🙄
I wonder what the record is without refueling? Would that still be held by one of the big liners?
Yes it’s held by S.S. United States
~58 hours by the Destriero in 1992.
They broke the time record but never got the blue ribbon because the boat wasnt registered as a commercial passenger ship

Sabotage
F...k... How is't stupidy do not drain the water/condencate from the fuel service tanks!!! It should to know every engine cadet! Maybe, they haven't any one, just a honored and now very reach Chief Engineer one.

I thought it was going to be a sailboat or at least a rowboat or something. Who fucking cares about a speedboat?
Can't u see the thumbnail
