Possibly a bit early to say the F50 has smashed through performance barriers. Sydney was too light t set speed records, but it's not like we saw complete dry laps in the light which might have been a realistic target. Even if the F50s do go through 50 knot barrier as claimed possible it's just nudging past the 47.57 knots we saw in 2013 or the 47.2 in Bermuda.
There is a few trans Atlantic race boats thats been parked in trinidad for a long time One that stands out is one seems to be sponsored by jaguar Monohull
The March 2019 World Sailing Show said "next month, first steps for a radical cruiser" and showed a catamaran with a wing sail. Did I miss the follow up in the April 2019 World Sailing Show?
A lot. By lifting the boat out of the water you reduce a tremendous amount of drag. Yes windage is increasing but water is way more dense. Next time your at the beach or pool pay attention to how harder and slower you are when your walking in the water. Then try running. You can't really run your faster but not by much. As you go into shallower water your ankle to go faster with less effort. Just like these guys.
@@sailingbrewer Cheers, but you literally haven't told me anything anybody else with modicum of common sense could have told me... Water is heavier than air, is it? Stop the presses! ;-D Just pulling your leg, mate... ^^
The first time I saw vids of these foil boats, I felt the same, but then I remembered how in small craft sailing, whenever we had decent winds on a broad reach or downwind, we were almost always trying to get the boat up to a plane... - remember the balancing act we would going downwind, pulling up a centerboard or dagger-board to reduce drag but losing direction to current and risking flipping over if we got a strong gust + mishandled sail and any bodies were not properly balanced. I think the foils are just an evolution from that.
Well I guess if you put it that way then it would still be put under the heading of what we call "sailing". But that is some fancy way of planing if I ever saw any!
These boats give me goosebumps.
Good to see sailing being booted into the future. Luv it.
MY FAVORITE CHANNEL.
It's hard to get your head around a a 75ft. mono hull without a keel doing 40+ knots.
Qlww
Tenet brought me here. I'm hooked.

Love This Channel !!!
Love those foiling cats.......
If there are batteries running the pump, why do they need grinders? What do they actually do?
They charge the batteries
Hello, what kind of yacht is shown at 0:05?
Those are J-class ships. They used to be the boats for the America's cup in the 1930s. All of them longer that 100ft
i wonder how flatearthers brain wraps around sailing faster then wind concept)
Having ALL the boats identical means it is down to the skill of the crew.
Formula 1 motor racing could learn from that.
LEWIS HAMILTON WINS AGAIN!!! ( Hamilton) : thank you guys so much I am so blessed. (Fans) : not again!

Sorry about that but we had to move the feature on a month to the next show in May
@@TheWorldSailingShow cut the super fast editing and lose the too loud music. You have viewers eager for details not MTV trash.
How much faster would a hydroplaning sail-boat be compared to a "normal" one with similar specs?

What’s up with that weird editing noise?
Can you still call it "sailing"? I am thinking that maybe it should be called by so other name like hydro-flying.

Yeah but they should have there own records just like catamarans and trimarans.
I agree.
@@charlesclements4350 veddy fahncy!
didn't they do all of this foil BS during the 80's?
Not with any real success
