- Pros sailing on the Southern Chesapeake Bay. Seeing Madness under sail from the bow of chase boat gives a new prespective on how gracefully and easily she moves through the water. She was typically making around 12 to 14 knots; highest recorded speed of 14.5 knots during this run. I understand that her top speed is about 21 to 22 knots.
Such a beautiful boat. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.
Madness is really something. I am always excited when her skipper invites me onboard. thx for the comment. I enjoy making and sharing the videos on my channel.
Best boat Best video
Madness is sublime
thanks! this was a fun video to make. watching Madness from the bow of the chase boat was a real treat.
More great footage. Talk about a knife in the water. Thanks again for posting.
thanks for watching and the kind comments. Madness is extremely smooth through water. her hulls are narrow.
Super interesting!
Thanks for watching. Madness is absolutely a special boat. I had a great time making the video from the bow of the chase boat.
Good job by the camera boat to film out of the proa's way... Many times I have seen camera boats trying to get a good shot at a boat underway, and they get too close, or they just interfere with the boat's progress, just to get a good shot...
Tacking? A triangular course would have been interesting.
The owner/skipper is very efficient at shunting (proa tacking). Although it takes longer than a normal tack, the boats speed would more than make up for the time.
@@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck I would have loved to see it…
I may a video showing how he shunts. But it would be from when he was learning. His much faster, more efficient now.
Will something like this take me safely from St Augustine to the keys?
Madness was designed and bult by John Harris at Chesapeake Light Craft. In his videos, John describes her as a coastal cruiser. I believe you can by build kits from CLC.
@@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck Like any good designer John would probably say safety is entirely relative to the sailor making the relevant decisions. I seem to recall him writing that he daydreamed about crossing to the bahamas in Madness and camp cruising there, but he is a designer and builder and sailor with decades of experience. I would base no assurances on the design alone. I could drown myself piloting a rubber duck across a bathtub.
Thanks for this awesome video I look forward to more. I think Madness is a wonderful design and would be an amazing project to build someday.
@@andrewrotch9445 Thanks for watching and providing very useful comment! I am sure there will be more Madness to come!
Uhh, why not? Just keep it around 8 knots! Should be ok.
이야, 돛배로 수상스키도 타겠는걸!!
Madness is very fast and smooth through through the water.
Size her up about 2 or 3 times larger- should easily do a circumnavigation; or a least an Atlantic crossing.
As is would suffice if you can restock on the way. 2 to 3 times size would make it a hell of a lot more comfy, especially by modern standards of what constitute easy... these boats however are very sensitive to turtling, so minimum crew are a substantially bigger and unavoidable problem if you want to remain safe...
What speed was she doing
I am estimating that Madness was doing around 12 knots. But I have asked her skipper and let you know what he says. During this video, I was on the bow of the chase boat. So I didn't have access to the GPS on Madness.
@@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck Thank you Loved the video, please keep them coming
@@64high I have raw video for at least one more video. Then I am sure that her skipper will have me back on board.
speed was 12 to 14 knots per avionics. The top speed speed was 14.5.
