I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Barracuda X in Seattle last year and speaking to Chris White on the phone. The Craftsmanship of this boat is second to none.
Awesome - do glad to have found your channel and some real footage of the A47 underway. The view out to the raked up bow decks is... trippy. ;-) Safe sailing!
Thanks for your question Thomas. At the beginning of the video both headsails are unfurled and both mast foils are locked. By the 2 minute mark you can see that the second headsail is reefed to the second mark with both mast foils locked.
You are right...we will do something and post it. Boat interiors are hard to video and get the perspective right, they also tend to get messy when you are under way..I will try to include more in the future. Thanks for your comments!
OK guys, all very nice sweing snippets of where you've been but, honestly, you sailors, I don't get it! Your boat is your life and yet I've watched so many of these videos hoping to get a look at your boat, the rig, the space you have, the accommodation and so on and you show nothing! why is that? Why not make a point of a percentage of your footage allways to be showing the boat so we get a sense of where we are and how you're living, especially when you have such an interesating cat as a Chris White, forward cockpit with foil mast, Us sailors out here or would be boat purchasers go on line to look for stuff like that and all we get is hours of weaves, stern wakes, lobster dinners and islands. we want boat, boat, boat! Still, hope you had a great trip.

What was your sail configuration at those speeds? Thanks
Does Barracuda X have/use dagger boards?
Zone Television No dagger boards..fin keels only.
Shelly Young thanks, still impressive performance.
I have a video "The Build" , the first video in this series that shows a fair amount of the interior of our boat.
