The iconic restored 19th century tall ship James Craig once again takes poll position for race watchers to experience up close the thrills of the race start
Yes...the restored barque James Craig part of the Sydney Heritage Fleet, a volunteer organisation with a proud history of steam and sailing vessel restorations. The James Craig is one of only four 19th century barques still sailing today, world wide.
On se demande bien pourquoi ce départ demande la présence de 3 hélicoptères au moins, et une centaine de bateaux à moteur qui vont consommer je ne sais combien de centaines de litres de carburant pour une course de bateaux à voiles qui se déplacent grâce au vent et à l'habilité des équipages, sur une eau complètement bullée par les hélices, ce qui évidement en modifie fortement les propriétés physiques et par suite le comportement hydrodynamique des carène et des appendices. Idem pour les hélicoptères qui circulent trop prés des voiles et qui pertubent l'écoulement des masses d'air c'est déjà suffisamment compliqué sans hélicoptères. Je suis passionné de voile, je navigue, mais là je ne comprends plus.
Its a big event every year for Sydney. Thousands of people are watching all from all around the harbour and on TV.I have been one year on Boxing day ,and the shores were packed with people. Its once a year and takes less than an hour to head out to sea. Then the yachts are on their own with one or two helicopters with cameras. The helicopters are from TV Stations. The fastest yachts get to Hobart in less than 1.5days 630nm.All good fun and spectacular. no need to be a party pooper. the harbour is full of stink boats 365 days per year.
Capitalists destroyed sailing, money corrupted the soul of sailors, designers... Keels that are raised on the windward side, enormous size of sails, side wings for lifting the sailboat out of the water, sails so big that masts, cables suffer to the limit... Materials lighter than a plastic cup... And all this for just one regatta, so much money spent that next year the constructors are releasing new models. I love sailing, I also sailed on a two-year-old America Cup sailboat, the sailboat is unusable for further regattas, the materials and the hull are worn out, it needs a lot of repairs, the new owner simply cut it up and took it to the plastic waste. Luckily he didn't pay much. All that money for just ONE regatta, disgusting... Better to give money to sick children, old people... Everything is good as long as we are healthy, when we are broken by illness then there are no rich sponsors, we are not followed by television, helicopters or this mass of dangubs staring at these unattainable space assholes. Greetings from Europe.
How much energy is spent.. incredible
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Thanks for putting this up Philip. Well done keeping it as steady as you did!
thanks muchly
what a spectacle! thanks for sharing
3:04 Wow, those are powerful boats, being a able to carry that much sail area for those wind conditions, and still not be too much heeled over.
Nice video Philip. Different perspective from commercial videos. Thanks for that.
thank you
Ha ha Peter, nice to see you made it down to Hobart. My wife and I were there a few years ago, the wind blew every day.
My goodness... such huge sails for such small boats!
Great footage well done ⛵💨
Thanks 👍
Marvelous. Just bloody MARVELOUS !
Four sharks in a school of sardines :)

I couldn't wait to get away from all those bosts would love to be there to see those rigs in person
amazing
如此讓人感動的畫面啊！
Hownice. !

What speed are these boats doing?
Is this recorded on a tall ship?

@@philiphewett2803 Thanks.
I can see a tragedy with all those boats &helicopters
The whole harbor is supposed to be marked off for where the racers, spectators, and helicopters can go with pretty strict rules for all.
멋지네요
Very nice video
Thanks
Well, Philip, COMANCHE won again, and congratulations to them. I think it's time they (Australia) brings out their BIG gun, super maxi, CAVALRY! 😉
Comanche won line honours but they didn't win the race. Celestial won.
This would never happen in the USA !

Draxler, from Tasmania queries..'Duz' them whirlychopters tow them sailors aroun', wha'?
My nephew Tom Kneen won his division on sunrise in this race, despite a broken boom and tiller.

It's called sport. Heaven forbid you learn of Formula 1. 🤣
