VOLVO EXTREME 40 RACING

[R00RAL]

Would a Monohull Kanting keel 40ft Yacht with same sail area be competitive?

[whiteboyfunk1]

Quick-release blocks needed ASAP....

[Segelfilmer]

What a pity - in Germany this clip looks like an old film originating from the silent movie age. WMG did not authorized the music and so the clip is in germany soundless.

[95tekki]

wow ke skuffiaa!!!!!!!!!!

[Banduenga]

amazing sailing .... tuned on their motion they didn't balance the back and as flydutch said they were constantly sailing the bow almost underwater so then the wind pushed raising up the back.

[DudeArchitect]

omg. its amazing!

[element9977]

no it aint a design flaw. these boats are sailed by 6-7 people. at 80kg each, 480-560kg. if u look at how tall that rig is, and how it has a flat top main, that is a shit load of sailarea. add that to the fact that they are ultra light, they are catamarans and that they are called "EXTREME 40's" and u mayb start to realise that it aint a design flaw, its just such an extreme boat that and slight misjudgement could have big implications. its the same with the modern day americas cup boats.

[stopmojoe]

Thats no design flaw, cats are much more powerful with the weight far forward, thats just the fastest way of sailing them in many conditions.

[loren1283]

that looks dangerous

[FlyDutch61]

I agree with earlier post that there seems to be a design flaw if they pitchpole so easily in flat water. A section early in the clip shows one at speed with the bow constantly low and the back constantly high.

I guess the proof is in how long this series survived? Extreme 40s still around?

[DanZgoulding]

yes people race X40's all the time they won the round the island race last year and the year befor

[jonnyspurdog]

They are just sailing to the edge of their performance - and over!

Go try an F18 they pitchpole much quicker!

[kefirowybohen]

great song, amazing video- extreme situations needns extreme (?) music!

[tomblinm]

Agree.. shit soundtrack, amazing sailing, watch it muted..

[andrewpoophead]

Hate the music, but good video.

[aperson700]

great video! death metal doesnt really fit w/ sailing though.......

[porpoisefathom]

btw..why doesnt this class have duel mast rigs? wouldnt that increase the sail area and make it less easy to capsize?

[aktjmiller]

To increase sail are they would add a gennaker, but in really strong winds you dont want to increase the sail are beacause it would be way easier to capsize

[KanzlerM]

They key is to have a barely manageable amount of sail w/o pushing it too far.

But when you push the edge of the envelope, sometimes you get a paper cut.

[porpoisefathom]

music's gotta go but-great vid though

[jackmaggotdude]

that looks amazing! iv only ever sailed smaller boats like wayfarers and merlins. how easy is it for the larger ones like the ones on this vides to capsize?

[Bloomfieldcrew]

cool video

I and a friend of me are sailing now a dart 16

When you see all the people playing around whit cats we look like proff

we are a little bit not real pro`s but i sail my whole live and i can do it realy good ( on age of 13 ) BUT CHANGE DE MUSIC

[dagmarbokkinga]

Waarom zet je dit soort **** muziek bij zo'n mooi stukje film ?!

[JeanGart]

cool! This is the kind of paintings that i paint, extreme yacht racing! love it!

[HighA007]

great sailing

love it

[deepislandboy]

Death metal doesn't fit with sailing.....Any way good sailing footage.

[lukexmartin]

Yes! Song!  Shit!

[fladfisk]

the music is shit

[RIOT0900]

Killswitch Engage - Break the Silence

this is the song :) have fun

Retreat, hell! Were attacking in a different direction!

[raww302]

what song is that ? ?

[hard0rock1987]

shut the fuck up that music roxx.

stupid rich ass prick

[cabernetsavignon]

Great footage... Shame to ruin it with such crap in your face music! Doesn't fit sailing at all!

[autoerratica]

this pop music really does blow.

[sail4ever15566]

these things are so fast!

[jamesfottilafiglia]

nice video, but the music is not great...

does anyone know where are they sailing?

[FoffEmo]

its killswitch engage i believe, therefore you are correct the music is not great. Its brillent

[PYSFsailing]

volvo extreme 40

[thevigiles]

Music is better than most of the neutral pop that usually accompanies these sailing vids.

[Gusdor]

Well said FoffEmo

[Sibosat]

This boat in the next America's Cup match between Alinghi vs BMW Oracle Racing?

[jimmyjimmyjimmyfuck]

What the fuck are you on?

[mcmarga]

no there catamarans in the americas cup there a monomarans what r u on ?... stupid juice

[Gusdor]

Mono-hulls no?

[mcmarga]

yh you mono-hulls r in the americas cup not extreme 40's

[sm542]

The 2008 33rd Americas Cup between Alinghi and Oracle will be sailed in extreme 40's. Both teams have built cats and are presently training in them.

[vander82]

No.

The teams are training with modified Extreme 40's (bigger sails and mast) but they are building own cats for the Cup. The AC will not see any Volvo Extreme 40.

Rumours say Oracle has 3 diferent cats that would fit different conditions, as only Alinghi knows where the Cup will be sailed.

[BezManQatar]

monomarans? lol

Stupid juice? LOL

[mcmarga]

loool i was on stupid yuice tht day i meant mono hulls loool

[Schneebuddy]

That last crash looks like their going all the way over..turtle.

[swordfish1227]

i know the guy who did the first pitchpole...he claims the leeward hull was full of water...still pretty funny though

[Corsair1101]

Look closely at 1:27-1:28. You can see one of the crew jumping off the tramp.

[laser490]

uaw!!!!!!radical!!!!!!

[ASSman6660666]

Jesus, what's with that music?

[dannykay0616]

shut the fuck up its good music and a good vid dont be a dick

[ASSman6660666]

Eat a dick.

[dannykay0616]

w/e assfuck i dont give a shit what you say

[ASSman6660666]

Are you retarded?

[Vinn3r21]

Badv Musik

[jimmyjimmyjimmyfuck]

Pretty much all high speed cats bury the bow.

but being so big means you can't counter it with you weight.

[mitchema2]

Go on then, what is the music?

[radovest]

Stupidity reached

[2bullitt]

gay music

[radovest]

What do you mean ????

[dannykay0616]

yeah this shit is good for the vid wtf

[minitin]

It's a very heavy music for a very heavy sailing. I think the music is perfect. This user has a lot of very good sailing videos.

[176988]

Have you ever sailed, This some of the best sailing in the world and you chose "HATEFULL MUSIC"

Change it

[byetis]

What's wrong with the music? It's better than the techno/emo crap that usually accompanies these videos.

[sagnefusciule]

e dopo come cavolo fanno a riaddrizzare la barca dopo che hanno scuffiato?

[NellyP123]

"I think these boats have a design fault.they bury the lee bow and pitch pole over. anyone know ? " It's more of a design feature than a fault

[corsair28r]

stupid music ( well its more like screaming )

[Joeey]

not more stoopid music with sailing video. really ruins it.

[billbogg]

I think these boats have a design fault.they bury the lee bow and pitch pole over. anyone know ?

[wildblue2]

It could the super high aspect rig and the relative short lengh of the hulls?

[kloss22p]

That is NOT a design fault by any means, one of the hazards of sailing a catamaran is burying a hull and pitch poling. There are a couple ways to prevent it from happening, sheeting out, pushing toward the wind, etc. But when you are racing a catamaran, you push it to its limits, sometimes you find the edge of what the boat can do by crossing it, just part of the sport. It's much easier to prevent in recreational sailing, but racing is a whole different beast.

[gabystrongpr]

awesome video and music

[hantipants]

Who's idea was it to put that music with that video?

[lesterjohnson]

mine ;)

[carsonmarston]

Music is a little screwed up but cool video

[gabystrongpr]

awesome cats

[tnflakbait]

Niice!

[pinoniels]

Good music and a very good movie:P
