incredible machines. All of this tech jump in sailing happened in a very short time and radically changed one of man's most ancient modes of transportation.
A great advertisement for Australian sportsmanship and mateship. And not a piece of sandpaper to be seen anywhere. Makes me proud to be both a sailor and an Aussie.
As a family we had a Cal 25 that could go no faster than 8 knots. That was the limit for any conventional sailing hull at the time. Boy, was it ever fun. That was 1972.
It would seem it's quite complicated to multiply 50 by 1.8. 50kts is just over 90km/h.
1.85200 🤓.....92.6 km/h....but def NOT 100 km/h as she says...but the boats are pretty darn fast 🚀
"just"
Dramatic license:)
Yeh, the media can't do basic maths..... or even type 50 knots to km/h into google. Just embarrassing! And the channel is called True Stories! What a joke!
The boats and sailors are awesome though :)
@@JulianLiebl in that area of speed it is "JUST" cause every single km/h more is so hard to get.... so there is a BIG difference between 90 and 100 km/h
It's amazing that one little piece placed under the boat actually increases the speed by a lot.
Way less friction from just foils in the water than an entire hull
50 knots = less than 93 km/h. Why exaggerate when that's already fast?
0.5 km/h less.... I bet you did all that math and made that comment while wearing three masks..... and sitting on a traffic cone.
@@FREAKIN_BRYAN The title of the video says 100 km/h. That is the exaggeration I was referring to.
The current speed record in an F50 is 99.94 km/h, set by the French team
99 km/h = 60mph
See one change that the last America's Cup brought to these boats was a change to the grinders that provide the power for almost everything.
Traditionally the grinder have always been hand crank. The New Zealander's changed that to leg powered grinders. Makes sense when you think that the biggest most powerful muscles in the human body are in the legs.
Most powerful is the back
I feel like every team is Australian and they're just pretending other countries are competing against them.
Because we don’t exist. The government is paying us as spies to say we exist.
@@kangarookicker6995 That is a lie from flat earthers.
@@havanadaurcy1321
the joke
Your head
@@havanadaurcy1321 I bet you were wearing 3 masks when you commented that.
@Zyaire Gunner you didn't even post it 20 min ago. Nice try ya fuckin scammer LOL
I like how the presenters voice is totally different on the boat.
Well, different microphones 🤷♂️
It was fun at high speed according to the female presenter. 50 knots, 92.6 km/h on water feels very fast. I've done speed surfing at 28 - 30 knots. Speed is adrenalin rush.
We all know the media could lie straight in bed purebred lire’s
Modern sailing boats are a blast, I love my sport
confusion. 50 knots = 92.6km/h. over 100km/h = about 54 knots. k
Holy ,holy ,holy helllllll!!!! That's the funniest thing I've heard on youtube 9:34
Yes, I laughed my cheeks off. And then she excuses herself: "This was pretty clooose!" :))
Thought I was on a whole different kind of video when that happened!
My first time sailing we capsized and got trapped under the main sail. That didn't stop me from racing. You either love it or hate it.
Lori B As a sailor and sailing instructor that is definitely not the worst first day I have seen.
@@theolopez3299 the first time i sailed i got stung by a box jelly and had to swim to shore and stepped on a stonefish on my way out of the water. Just kidding, that wouldnbe bad though
@@theolopez3299 curious what other worst first sailing experiences you've seen
@@tandago7281 He stuffed the jelly fish into the gaping mouth of a great white that was out to get him, and dragged the shark to shore by tying its tail to the coral reef snake he had just captured (had to stay clear of the Tasmanian tigers, but he succeeded...).
When i was younger, 11 or 12, i roll jibed an optimist and fell onto the sail. ripped it. Thank gosh it was a cheap one!!!
Sailing sure has come a long way since I taught it in my 18 ft Lighting
Do you do lasers and 420’s ?
"Good on you, Boys!"
Solar wind, carbon boats, meat and gristle + grit on deck, er, trampoline. "Hold fast!"
Now that's a different form of sailing!!
these flying boats these days are just amazing. Hold fast
The unspoken story here, is that the two top boats in SailGP are skippered by Australians, and yet we still have no Americas Cup entry of our own
The boats are made of Unobtanium, which has significant defense applications. I haven't studied the question, but I would expect there's a certain largesse commensurate with a market's defense budget.
America’s cup is too expensive it’s ridiculous y literally have only 3 clubs that have the money to challenge
@Jeffrey Hagelin cuz the clubs are massive and are super rich but if south africa or portugal wanted to make a challenge they wouldnt have the money in their clubs of course america can come back but im just saying make it cheaper so we can have more clubs join in
Very impressive...
But the Vestas Sail Rocket 2 went 78.2 MPH (125.9 Km/hr) or 68 Kts.
Now that is impressive
Let’s see the Vestas Sail Rocket 2 tack
Let’s see the Vestas Sail Rocket 2 tack
can't turn, its not a boat
When slowing down from hydrofoiling the nose comes in at an angle so you need more volume in the nose. Also the momentum of the sail has a component which is dipping the nose
Avid sailor once, makes sense , more volume on the nose.
"the equivalent of light speed"
Sr-71 Blackbird has entered the chat
In a way that’s not light speed at all, we have hit the equivalent of light speed.
@@Dominiqueuqinimod no we haven’t 😂
90 is light speed lol
@@captprime9446 SR-71 eclipsed the speed of sound, but didn’t even achieve 0.1% of the speed of light.
Tom is 10000% winning the battle to keep his hair
9:34 something tells me she just got really wet and it wasn't from the ocean...
weird hentai scream
Wtf
Onyx TH 😅😅 I get it
Defindetly the captain that just snuck a cheeki finger in
That sportsmanship is really fantastic to see
I went into a wave pool once and freaked out when the wave was coming. So chicken little me wouldn’t do so great on one of these puppies.
50 knots = 92.6 km/h
9:40 that’s what she said
50 knots isn’t 100km/h ! It’s only 92.6 !
Imagine if jack sparrow had one of these just imagine
He’d pitchpold over a wave.
He'd subsequently inherent the Australian accent lol
the c would crash it, break it and be in the water in under 20 seconds.
i like how the Japanese boat had no Japanese people in it, lol whats the point of that ??
Same with major motion pictures... many, even very high-powered, Japanese seek not to offend. Life or death, sometimes.
Hey, they're their islands, OK?
Wrong two of the team are Japanese also same for China because they are developing sailing nations so they get to have a few non Japanese or Chinese
"American" teams are loaded with New Zealanders/Kiwis.
Schumacher driving Ferrari
Toyotas driven by Americans
The America Cup race is the oldest international race in the world. Foiling has raised this race to ballistic proportions. A rollercoaster ride with no safety bars. Scary even as a spectator sport
Actually, for me the race is more boring with the sailors riding bycicle on the water except the helmsman.
After hearing his name, I had to rewind to hear what happened to Andrew Bart Simpson
Great flying y’all ❤️❤️❤️
OK. So you are not used to high speed boats. Got that. 100kph - rare unless you have perfect conditions and perfect set up. Lightspeed definitely not. Speed over water seems much faster than in a car. These boats push 40 kts which is around 80 kph. They are not flying machines, they are foiling machines. The 100 kph is 54kts speed is reaching a limit, because foils cavitate at just over 50kts (92.6kph) and wind, air resistance of the rig and their strength, all come together to make handling these boats in severe weather and wind conditions very difficult and safety becomes a very big concern due to unpredictable variables. Despite these minor corrections, great report. You put over the exhilaration of foiling boats (I design and build motorized ones). I am very happy to see that foiling boats are now making their mark. I hope more people get to experience foiling boats - cos what they can do in rough water beats any standard non foiling mono- or multihull.
50 knots is not 100 km/h, but only 92.6 km/h.
Foiling has brought sailing back as an exciting sport to watch. The monohull Americas cup was quite frankly boring to watch in the past
I think the opposite. For me the race is more boring with the sailors (except the helmsman) riding bycicle on the water.
Amazing story, thank you for sharing. God bless you and your team
"Which is the better sailor" surely "who is the better sailor"?
"Is it crazy fun or crazy scary"?
That depends on how crazy you are.
I want to know what it's like to jump from the back of the boat into the water at that speeds
It's hitting me that there is no SAIL GP for everyone.. and no offense to the newscaster, but I really wish that one of the only female representatives for SAIL GP was a bit more knowledgeable about sailing - and a bit less hysterical.
Right on. Bit of brain too might help...
nah dont change a thing... good tv....lol. We all feel knowledgeable and omnipotent. besides working cheap.
In what way was she hysterical?
@@Smilliztho Hoooooooolllllyyyyy !!!!! Thiiis is sooooo scaaaaaryyyyy!!!!!!!!!
@@Smilliztho about there
1.6... kilometers per mile.... not times 2... my brother was crew for a boat out of La Jolla in California... until 1993.. today's his birthday... RIP Dr Carew
Old fart here been riding motorcycles all my life dirt bike racing road racing still long distance touring now most fun I ever had was on the hot rod catamaran love them all
My kids favorite boat to go on is our toy hobie cat. No boom, only huge batons. Every now and then we capsize and they FREAK out!! so much fun though!! (I’m an instructor at a sail camp)
Sounded like an organism when the two boats almost collided
orgasm but yh it did
Organism hahahaha
I think she just came. "Holy hell"
Want to try it in my life
To much yap flapping not enough boat views of the gear and equipment
50 knots is NOT (pardon the pun) 100kph. It's is only 92.6kph.
1 knot equals 1.852 kms. To achieve 100kph, they would have to do 54 knots.
Thank you for your time.
Poor reporting as the Brits were first to 50kts
That's about 62 mph if anyone else had the same question as me...
50 knots is 92.6 kilometres per hour
The bows look like they could use a flip out wing to keep them up
Somewhere around 44 knots if I am correct, the foils start behaving badly. I would like to know what shapes are going on below the water to hold off the cavitation and other issues that happen at these speeds. Are the nose dives caused by cavitation or spanwise airflow, vapour???
Some really cool engineering is going on. This is sound barrier type stuff only on/in the water.
Oiê boa tarde eu sou a vovó do Gustavo Bueno o Guga do Bragantino ele é bom Deus abençoe essa equipe e todos vocês
"im the only woman!" please............................
I can confirm that my coach, who sailed with me on one of these, was female.
No they are not LITERALLY flying
when a boat is going the 50 or 100 - what is the ambient windspeed typically?
Every time somebody say's hitting water at speed is like hitting concrete should try running into concrete. It's absolutely nothing like crashing into water at any speed. 😃
These are the one we see in Tenet right?
Have these people ever herd of a ac75
13:43 what are those breathing devices? Something to let them breath without carrying a tank? Like a water blocking snorkel?
They always seem to be nose-down even steady state. No wonder they pitch pole so easily
Good sport. Would like to watch in close-ups.
The guys name was Bart Simpson?!?
U must not know how fast light speed is
Why don’t they put a wing between the pontoons, making the boat itself a wing. Use foil and ground effect technology to stabilize & drive the boat. Seams as if using ground would keep the nose from diving into the water. Ground effect was successfully used by the Russian to achieve 300+ mph with a water craft in the 1950’s
This can not be a true statement. The Rocket has the world record even at today. The only others have been kitesurfers.
Amazing how "easily" they break that 50knots barrier! I mean just on a quick ride with press onboard..
Do not understand why the hulls have reverse noses on hulls? if they had a flared bib they would immediately lift instead of diving to a stop! same as surf ski's have always had. no extra weight1
You don't know about sailing physics man
They would trip over the bow and cartwheel.
как же круто
i’ll stick with my rs500
"The equivalent of light speed"....if you divide light speed by 11.65 million.
0:24 I guess that's a way to solve the "too many ribs" issue
9:20 for the Fast and the Furious.
Clickbaiting at it's 'best'. 50 knots is fast, but in the sailing world it's not even close to 'over 100km/hr'. You know this, right? So, do it better next time…
93 kph is close to 100 what planet you from? call him a liar for 7kph when we talking almost 100 you people are tool bags. lol
1:25 Red boat. Still maintaining the old pilot style?
Mate, Did she just say Australia is the fastest boat.
*Hysterical Laughing*
Hell yeah where do I sign up
50 knots ain't 100km/h! It's "only" 92.6. 100km/h is 0.0043 shy of 54 knots!
50 knots is 92.6 kph, still bloody fast though :)
“That was pretty close” she’s obviously never watched any proper sailing races before
Pasti perahunya sangat mahal
Потрясающе!
What's the reporters name?
9:38
What does she mean by “no woman has gone before”? This is definitely a sport that women also do... 🤨
Shhhh, dont ruin it for her or she'll cry
Women can't sail; they're too emotional!
@@fredh999harris8 stfu
All I have is a word and a gesture
Competing & racing until the end
Go Alex gunning for yuh!
It's false. The hydroptere still owns the title
yeah, and in open waters.
I’ve seen adds for people wanting crew to sail for recreation and they want money, they basically want you to pay to help them sail... No F’ing way, you pay me to work on your boat not vice versa but this I’d happily pay for.
Love those foilin' cats !
Way amazing yes....
Why is the bow angle backwards?? The thing just dives under water cause the bow angle is backwards. Needs a upward angel so it does not dive. You know what I mean.
inverted bow: longer waterline = higher hull speed and less hydrodynamic drag, therefore achieving higher speeds faster = use of foils faster = major speed gain. But you are also correct: they have little reserve buoyancy and have a tendency to dive. In that type of race, speed is all that matters

They do that to expose the least amount of rear rudders and fins under the water. It is to reduce drag. The center foil operates sort of at a semi fixed depth. It can be changed, but the for stability it seems like once they have the center foil dialed in, the easiest adjustment to increase speed is to pitch the bow down and the stern up.
There's more than one factor at play here.
You can't stop the bows going under water unless you're sailing in a drifter. The forward force from the sail/wing is opposed by drag from the hulls. The centre of effort of the sails' force is somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 the way up the sail.That creates a turning moment that pushes the bows down. You want the maximum buoyancy in the bows as far forward and as low down as possible, so that you can start displacing water (and generating lift) to oppose the downwards push as soon as possible. You're generating lift as soon as the bow starts to go under water and at a much smaller downward angle than a conventional bow. You're also displacing water further forward than with a conventional bow, so the lifting moment is greater for the same amount of water displaced. Conventional bows are very skinny at the bottom and usually get wider as you head towards the deck line. There's no appreciable buoyancy until the deck line gets under water.
As soon as a bow with a flat deck goes under water, the drag from the bows increases dramatically and the hull trips over the bow. In the old days, when catamarans had conventional bows, they were notorious for cartwheeling. The modern bow shape has very little resistance at the deck level and will resist diving much better than a conventional bow. When they get to the limit, the modern bows are not as susceptible to tripping and cartwheeling. They tend to dive instead and can often recover. Cartwheeling is not fun. You tend to break the boat and, at the speeds these guys are going, you can expect serious injuries.
wow you are genius why didnt they think of that .....you should be a multi million dollar yacht designer........lol
ever see the shape of a dolphin in the water ? do you know how a dolphin moves so fast thru the water ?
do you know how hydrodynamic lift works.....lol..... did you just google it?.....lolololololol
Wow that’s fast!!!👍🇺🇸
Tenet brought me here
hope will see the boy's in 2021 battle out the America's Cup in Auckland NZ 🤙👍🏻
Not to ruin the video, but the french have a female crew member. Not sure if they ever hit 50 knots in training? Fun video anyway.
With kites you could achieve more with less effort (a two person crew could operate it).
There is no way she was going 100!
