Great show, especially the segment about Kialoa II. I can account for a "few" of her miles during the time it was owned by one of the "American Chaps" Frank Robben. I was lucky enough to sail on her from Japan to San Francisco and on another trip from Darwin to the Med. On that trip we dismasted in the Indian Ocean and had to limp to Galle Sri Lanka for repairs. Fond memories!!!
If I'm not mistaken ,Idec Joyon didn't have t-foils . Only daggerboards... . His record is proof of his incredible seamanship...way above all other super duper french sailor media hero's .
Good summaries of the Sailing world as ever, one small thing, you might have mentioned the boat show was in Genoa a little earlier in the segment and more prominently...nothing to do with the fact it's my home town!
Foil boats are the way to do it, BUT If you don't have the luck to go with it, you will break some equipment, these French sailiors are the best in the world, nexr rime take a rabbits foot with you or pray to Odin. LOL!
This is the best sailing channel on RUclips.🤙🏼
Thank you - keep spreading the word!

As ever. A great edition of your superb channel. 👍
Thanks very much - glad you liked it!
Merry Christmas Mathew and Planet sail. Thank you for producing such a high quality professional and entertaining show!
This is a fantastic show. Glad to hear that it's getting the increasing attention it deserves. Top notch. Looking forward to episodes in the new year.
I tied up next to Kialoa in Aviatu Rarotonga for a week, great crew and a stunning classic!
Amazing thank you Matt! Have a great Christmas!
That Grand Soleil 52 was a beauty. Love the offshore coverage
👍👍
Great episode, love your coverage!
Great episode, top notch.
The footage of Macif was incredible
Kiloa is just magnificent
A great counter to the massive tris and proof that you can love both!

Gitana also kaputt 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for sharing 🤙🏽
@GaryBCBG I Know.
Love it
What a contrast, foils versus classic yachts. Gran prix versus concours d'elegance.
Broke the starboard foil. What's the bet there's a very confused whale swimming around in circles with the mother of all headaches.
Incredible pieces of kit, but all those appendages, that make them go so fast, are fragile. Better luck next try.
So, when the weather conditions are getting nasty is better a Pelle jacket rather than Henri Lloyd 😂

I don't know. What is forward-looking sonar anyway? There's a lot of floating junk in open ocean you know, that can ruin your day.

The French were absent.
What’s with this current trend for rectangular port lights…just look soooo wrong
Careful how you pronounce words. Grand and grande does not mean the same !
Also it's pronounced. Vonday
