J/125 Hamachi | Transpac 2019 - Overall Winners
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 дек 2024
- Team Hamachi had a magical run to Hawaii. We power reached across the line at 16 kts at 2:21 am Sunday (7/21) morning to complete the 50th Transpac in 8 days 16 hours and 21 minutes, which gives us a corrected time of 8 day 0 hours and 52 minutes.
It’s been a hell of an adventure and one that will not be repeated anytime soon. We were fortunate to start on the “right day” and the high pressure materialized in a manner that allowed us to power reach the whole way to Hawaii in winds that averaged between 15-20 kts. We never saw winds above 22 kts except for a few minutes, and always between midnight at 2 am to make it more exciting. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew and having one additional crew member became a clear advantage in the heavier wind versus the other J/125s. It’s going to take several days to catch up on sleep and begin to process the magnitude of this adventure and accomplishment. We have really appreciated all the support from our friends, family and Pacific Northwest sailing community.
Mahalo!

This is one of the great sailing stories... from your blog I see you started buoy racing just six years ago, and here you are - winning TransPac! Well done guys! Hope you show a video or two at Sloop Tavern once you’re back.
👍🙏 - see you at the Sloop on 7/31
Fantastic to win! This boat is a real gem! Beautiful to see her in her element.
These j125's would be a chance of winning overall in thhe Sydney to hobart. Most times its down wind all the way to the bottom of Tasmania. Thanks for posting this amazing footage
Cool drone footage, well done all of you in your giant slayer of a production yacht...way to go!!!😎👍
Friggin' awesome! Congrats to you Hamachi!
Congratulations! From the original bowman of the original Hamachi (Slyngstad's J/35).
Great effort guys. Looks like a great ride - only wish I was still doing races like this.
Looks like a lot of fun! Great job!
Great job. Not much for dancing but you sure can SAIL. All in fun Congrats!
So proud, congrats sailors !!!!
Well done Hamachi .👍
Wooohoo Matt!!!!!!! So proud!!!!
Amazing! I owned the first J125 'Wings of the Wind' a few years ago.
That's awesome! Where is that boat now?
Rockin'!! Huge congrats!!
Brilliant drone footage. That blue asymmetric looked powerful. I wonder if you adjusted your sailing angle v course to optimise the polars. That was some consistent stable, 'through the wave' speed.
The big asym is what makes the J/125 a true downwind unicorn!
this is a great video nice job and congrats
This is just the greatest. I am guessing you got the top spin halyard the wrong way around the fractional halyard, and hoisted a guy to get it the right way? Am i right?
Beautiful!!
great stuff
There's a guy climbing the mast under spinnaker _and_ you're filming it with a drone?! You don't back down from a challenge, do you? 😁
Wow! What a ride!
Arlene Arnold It’s an amazing boat!!
Wish we had had those great helicopter shots.
All aerial footage was taken by the Hamachi crew using a Mavic air drone in the middle of the Pacific. Most of it is from our half way party 1250 nm from hawaii.
Contact Ultimate Sailing...
This is the boat model that Tom Cruise and Jennifer Connelly are sailing in Top Gun:Maverick and they actually were riding in it.
Good stuff...
Also... it’s just stunning how barebones J boats are... you pay like 300 grand for the sheer performance, but you still have to bring your own camping burner...
The J/125 is not your normal J/boat. Its a stripped down racing sled and most have been modified to make them lighter. For example, the boat originally came with a two burner stove.
what is the speed at 2:54?
Somewhere between 17-20 kts. That was typical high end surfing speed that was repeated over and over for five days.
Love your videos The music detracts for me, I’d rather hear everything else
Awesome
Boat speed nice, dancin' OK, fishing notsomuch.
Very BEST ~~~!!!!!!!
