For those of you wondering what ever happened to Geant, she is now dominating the racing scene here in New Zealand and has been re-named Team Vodafone Sailing. I had the priviledge of doing a harbour race on her this week and it was absolutely incredible! We did 33 knots in only 18 knots of wind! This has to be the most spectacular boat ever built.
Your watching the raw power of the ocean harnessed by carbon fiber and good old fashioned seamanship. The video was pulled off the Geant web site when they were promoting this boat in ocean racing.This video was saved for posterity sake.Sit back turn up the volume and enjoy.
i still find it hard to believe that this song was written spesifically for this video. its a great song, but im not sure what im watching anyone enlighten me?
nixontankgirl.Have you ever sailed in something like this before? This cat is zooming through that water;and the spinnaker is not even up!!.Great video.
Noooooo ;=@ We did take a 55 cat from Fiji-NZ-Rapa-Tahiti but it was not like this....LOL. I think our max speed was 18knts and that was only for a few hours. BTW its a tri...LOL
I have searched and searched. I cannot find out who/what artist performed the music in the video. Anyone have a clue about it? Thanks, RT Oh yeah, trimarans rock!

Pffww... These 60 foothers solo sailers are of another breed
zoltar56 3 years ago
umm, err... solo? watch again..
1hr4play 3 years ago
You're right. In this film it was a crew of two but in most of transatlantic race these 60 footers are run by a single man.
Even though sailing such a beast in rough sea with a 5 men crew would be scary...
