Flying a hull on a cat that size is INSANE!! Of course, he does have a chase boat, so I guess they could help un-turtle it. Fantastic sailing! Wish I were there right now. :-)
Sure this cat's on its way. However I'd like more info. Who sails this boat? Is this video shot during the "Rhute de Rhum"? How well did it do? Is the flag on the boat an indication of nationality?
@Funmonger not hydrofoils, it's just a racing cat with high buoyancy, it'll be higher out of the water than one loaded down with creature comforts or cruising gear
please never say anything about sailing again. the VO70's go chargin in 50 knots+ i've sailed monos in 30-45 knots before. unreefed. yeah it was scared heeling over, but not close to capsizing.
@atlanticus Monohulls dont capsize as the leverage of the keel increases with angle of heel until you reach an angle past 90 degrees. then they roll right over and come up other side.
from Denmark!

Is this thing on hydrofoils? The hulls seem really high out of the water.

Hobby horsing is usually refered to bow to stern rocking... this boat isnt hobby horsing its managing a strong wind.

mono hull would be capsized already, this is obviously a race moded cat, the sail like this is over safe design limits

@atlanticus well, a monohull carrying that much sail would; a monohull could sail those conditions too, they would just have less sail up.
you're totally right on the sail area, definitely a racing boat
Slocketman 1 year ago
@atlanticus There was only 20kts of wind. You're crazy if you think that would capsize an ocean-going monohull.
lowcountrydawg2525 1 year ago 2
@atlanticus Surely a mono hull wouldn't have capsized in that wind and swell yet.
