  • This will be really hard to beat!! Fantastic sailing in a incredible boat.

  • @tincoffin and that only by 5h

  • C´est comme ca qu´on traverse la mer!

  • @SkyyCaptainn Yes in fact only only one liner The United States in 1952 managed to better this speed.

  • This is incredible. Average speed of 32.9 knots is unbelievable for sailing vessel over such large distance. Actually it is only few knots slower than the best ocean liners managed on transatlantic runs. And those ships had several hundred megawatt engines while this boat is only wind driven.

  • I would like to know the true wind angle / speed and the apparent wind angle / speed.

    Seas are flat in this video - must be an awesom ride - the noise going through the water is music to my ears !!

  • That is incredible. I can't believe the speed of this thing. This is quite a ride!

  • That does so not look like swiling but I can tell it is because they flew 2 of the 3 hulls at one point

  • 42 knots is 50mph. Unreal!

  • Amazing sailing - well done!
