  • As billionares go, I like Branson, but he looks like he hasn't the faintest idea of what he is doing in this video.

  • @Keithy684 I would rather a multihull any day over a monohull. More hulls to keep you afloat and a better chance of survival should you have water ingress. Not only the fact you don't have tons of lead trying to sink you while trying to keep you upright! Bit like a helicopter and a glider! You just have to know what your doing.

  • @michskip1 by the way: French are the fastest on this distance and any other "record breaking event" when it comes to real offshore sailing! sorry guys but that is the truth, just plain and honest

  • @beeleensky well, the guy doesnt look very confortable on in mast and harnest. what a show off prick! but we need guys like him with plenty of money to spend on silly things.

  • He is nuts, but a brilliant business men...

  • oyea, like that visible here skill of climbing mast - unremarkable technique indeed.

  • Monohulls

  • Monofuls can right themselves, multihulls cant, which is safer

  • @BenjaminFranklin99 your incorrect! its actuly the fastist way! if you can get out infront of one and stay there you FLY

  • @BenjaminFranklin99 yes but see cats are prooveing to out race monohulls off shore... the monohull is obsolete!
