    These boats are mind blowing and this race is equally as mind blowing. 32 meter tri's cruising at 30 to 40 knots and going over 50 is insane and single handing non stop race around the world is truly the pinnacle of sailing. Can't wait to see this happen

    I was born into sailboat racing and I can't even imagine putting up the sails on a 32m boat solo. The power is just wild, and to handle that it in the Southern Ocean is mind blowing. Good luck and safe trip to all!

      @@liam3284 seems like yes an no (intuitively, not fact based). I raced on boats in the 35-45ft range back in the day and recall one race hitting gusts at 57kts and with full crew reefing down and going to the storm jib was a big task.

      So many answers to that. One is that using influencers/shills/youtubers is often cheaper and may be better/easier sometimes. But often it's not. Often it's just that some new PR boss just follows trends and says "we need to be good on social media!" without really thinking it through.
      And as always, PlanetSail is cagey about this. They most likely got paid to do this, but instead of just being brutally honest about this upfront they kinda mention it offhand. Which does more harm than good for the people who actually notice. Matt likes to think of himself as a (sports) journalist and I feel sorry for him as an important part of his income is probably stuff like this. And for years, the magazine he worked for could also not afford not to suck up to the industry players. I feel like he missed a chance when he went to youtube to really break free of this. That said, he is doing really well on some content, but then still does this "press release" type stuff.
      One way to have done this one well would have been to not even talk about the product. Do a proper interview, forget who paid your flights, but ask what you really want to know yourself. Create great journalism, great story telling and then at the very end, you thank Musto "for making it possible". The audience will be better entertained and subconciously, they will think if this amazing man chose Musto, that brand can't be bad at all.
      Look at how Patagonia does it. Better than pretty much anyone else. They do mini docus about inspiring people and don't talk about clothing. Also, they likely have a ton more money to do so than Matt so the production value is amazing. But still, if the story is there, don't stoop to talking about product.
      I do realize I am being tough on Matt, but I have a love/hate relationship with how social media on one hand gives us great, free content yet on the other how fast shills are destroying core values of journalism. Matt is trying to walk a fine line between the two, I just wish he would be more journalist and less salesman. I still believe it's the healthier, smarter longer play. Sometime soon, the world will be tired of people trying to sell us stuff camouflaged as journalism.
      Anyhow, rant over, you got my point and Matt has bills to pay.

    Pounding and wind noise at 40 to 50 knots, both for body and mind. Improved adaptive all weather gear. Creative clothing with protective padding and insulating/breathable layers. Because of boat size, speed, flying at 15 knots, wind gusts, innovative warning alarms, sleep timers ⏰ and patterns. Daunting.

      @@xg9898 I have never heard of the motorcycle tourist trophy and no nothing of the sport. The international rules for the avoidance of collision at sea , know as the rules of the road in the nautical world, are quite specific about the keeping a lookout at all times. One person is incapable of being a 24/7 functional look out. There must be at least two people. So that their boat doesn’t run somebody down while they are resting/ sleeping / off watch. It is not a coincidence that the work period on boats is called a watch. When Scully was returning to the US in the ill-fated Coyote, he ran down a fishing boat. He was asleep.
