  • Great to see "She is back in the hunt" Bon voyage!

  • Ha ha I was looking for the people on deck & couldn't see any. Damn that's a big boat.

  • saw this boat in palm beach in about 2002 i think

  • omg look at that speed.. and they dont even have full sails up :)

  • not even full sail up ?

  • You've got some serious wind here.

  • super awesome video!!

  • if you want any info on playstation or any of the other super-maxi cats or tri's then u should read a book called 'The Race' it is all about the worlds most testiung round the world sailing race. it goes thru the southern ocean which has waves that would make a tsunami proud and that would easily reach around 20m in height on average. winds in the high 80s. and thats knots, no kilometers. it is also were the worlds first wave piercing bow concept was tested on team philips. but it couldnt race..

  • does anyone know where that baot is now??

  • Bottom of the ocean, she hit a shipping container and broke up.

  • The boat is now March 2009 at Alameda Island, Nelsons Marine.

  • According to my girlfriend who was onboard... it was gusting up to 50 when they turned around shortly after the footage was taken. Not record breaking conditions. The boat was only doing 27-28 knots in this clip. Obviously going any quicker wouldn't have been...errr, prudent! Still, impressive display of Playstations 'Truckability'.

  • I was wondering... it was going fast - but no-where near 50kts. Would hate to be the captain responsible for pitch-poling that rig!

  • how many knots of wind ??

  • Damn! I'm amazed they didn't break the boat or mast, not a record... They installed seatbelts after this, yes?

  • Break the boat nothing - THAT WAS PITCH POLE TERRITORY!

  • Love the gnarly speed and the even bigger balls to even sail that, though I'd hate to see it pitch pole. That would hurt bad.

  • Scary to watch! Wicked awesome!

  • good one paul,,,got any more footage,,a mate of mine mark callahan sailed on that yot
