HUGO BOSS OPEN 60 SAILING

[SirFinbarr]

The sails are spilling, guess they didn't have time to hoist smaller ones.

[synimrodel]

@optimist4212 it is not like he need more power thou is it.

[Piershs57]

@optimist4212 That's actually v.fast, the bottom 1/2 is trimmed perfectly and the upper 1/2 that has twisted off is less powerful- reducing heeling moment keeping a flat boat- and also turns into a foil generating power with very little heel. It's a much better alternative to reducing sail...

[optimist4212]

@Piershs57 true lol

[MyOpen57]

Deck spreaders allow one to eliminate conventional mast spreaders and therefore the mast can now rotate. (If you have shrouds running through spreaders rig cannot rotate.) The idea is to use a wing mast section that improves sail efficiency.

[SirFinbarr]

@MyOpen57 Awesome tuning on these big rigs.

[forkdriver500]

it;s old vision, but still excellent sailing & seamanship in a very wicked sea

[SoCalSailing]

This video rocks! @RedHookCapital and sold me a few yachts!

[Sails470]

Simple - I' no 1-th - don't start!

[neonguy528]

I read somewhere that Hugo Boss was living with fashion designer Halston sometime around the 80's. When Halston was diagnosed with aids, he went to live with his sister I believe. Anyway Boss was apparently still living in Halston's residence, and the family had to kick him out, and they said he was stealing lots of things. If this is all true, it just shows that even in America, a scumbag can be rich and famous.

@neonguy528

Hugo Boss died in 1948...Halston was 16.

[neonguy528]

@sansmeat I Googled this. German. 1885-1948. Since I was born in 56, that is why I didn't know this Boss. Thanks.

[jeffisstoned]

the hugo boss 2 is so much more beautiful

[guitarsquiddy]

Wow, these guys are formula one and i'm playing with matchbox cars.

[hunteri22]

wow a 60ft planing surfing.... that must be the ride of a life time!!!!

[shortattentionspan1]

wow! super skillful sailing - right on the edge of disaster every second.......

[dumon13]

I would say that this boat is about to pitchpole

[tincoffin]

No I dont think they do that . Multihulls do

[Theriomalstrom]

Any sailboat that goes very fast & surfs down waves is at risk of pitch-poling. This kind of sailing is always a trade-off between risk management and speed.

[a6km]

what is the song ?

[Jfredrikpa]

He´s a master of disaster! Lets do the wave!

[damageddad]

Great vid. But that music is bad.

[jozedostropa]

very nice! Seriously fast, too!

[Janosik1222]

wow

[tippo747]

so thats where the money goes......when you buy a 600 dollar...hugo boss.....plastic coat...thing

[superzkid]

600 dollar? more like couple hundred thousand dallar

[Biankoneri]

its a yacht you idiot. and i bet you cant afford it.

[sgtpepperoni]

what are those two metal poles stick up and out on either side of the boat by the sails?

[2jimpie2]

I think (I aint an expert) that those are there for the liones to go trough to make it easyer for solo sailing.

[lasersailorman]

They are bottom spreaders to help support the mast. The mast on this boat is aerodynamic in shape so it has little sideways rigidity. shrouds run from the arms to the mast helping to support it.

[tincoffin]

"They are bottom spreaders to help support the mast".referring to the 2 metal poles sticking out on either side

Surely that aint right . They are spinnaker poles arent they?

[tincoffin]

No - Now I look you are right. Weird

[backhausen117]

yes the are

[grumpybowman]

@tincoffin , they are known as "deck spreaders" first used by parlier mounting a mulitihull mast on a mono.

they allow a lower centre of gravity for the rig package, at the expence of higher total weight and poor forestay tension (leading to poor upwind performance), a very downwind performance feature and so very open 60

[tincoffin]

@grumpybowman Very knowledgeable Thanks . Do you know if these boats have a kicker ,the boom seems to go into the foot of the mast and there is enormous twist in the sail . Not a normal set-up at all I would have thought.

[grumpybowman]

@tincoffin , well observed. Deck mounted booms are quite common on open 60s, especially the wing masted ones, as this takes the compression loads from the boom away from the mast, but as you have seen this leaves no room for a conventional kicker. Different boats use different solutions to this problem, many have just used moveable strops onto padeyes or similar (not much changing course on ocean races!) or some have more exotic solutions, such as mich des' kicker track behind the mainsheet.

[defleppard10294]

its a canting mast

[grumpybowman]

@defleppard10294 , it's not, they are banned under imoca rules

[preerif]
