Most boat designs focus on luxurious comfort or capacity rather than raw power and speed… but, over the years, a number of vessels have been built that are able to travel through, or across the water far quicker than you’d expect. The best of them are even able to outperform the majority of cars that you see on the road and, in some cases, it takes an incredibly brave driver to sit behind the controls while they do so. From the speediest power boats, to yachts, and even electric powered vessels, it’s time to take a look at the top 15 fastest boats ever made.

The boats spinning off a dig is the best part🤣

@ChrisRogersTheAngryChef Год назад

One of your best videos. Lots of information on a rare subject that most know little about. You found the fastest boats across every genre including sail boats and luxury yachts. The focus time on each was perfect, just enough to keep me interested and informed without feeling like something was left out like many of these broad spectrum videos I find here. If you ever question your talent and wonder if you're doing the right thing go back and watch this video, study it. Then, re-adhere to the structure and principles in this one. Nice work, sir.

Unfortunately, Ken Warby passed away just a few weeks ago. He was testing a new boat to challenge his own record, but passed from age related complications. He was 83.

@glenac05 Год назад

Ken Warby, the world water speed record holder, died last week. Would have been happy though that his record still stands. His boat is on display at the Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia. One very bloody brave man indeed.

@1218omaroo Год назад

I'm so very sorry to hear that he's passed on. He was a life-long hero of mine - I've seen his boat many times and often visit Blowering Dam when I'm in the Snowies. Vale Ken.

@a-fl-man640 Год назад

he has always been someone i've admired. he built the SR-71 of boats ( in terms of long lasting records ) in his back yard. amazing

@colb9916 Год назад

As a teenager ( 15 ) on an interstate end of year 4 week trip, I saw Ken running speed trials down the dam in 78. Holy crap that thing was loud. As country kids we didnt see many things that went fast. To see that craft ripping past at over 300mph with about 200 feet of rooster tail was something ill always remember. Our tour bus broke down for 4 days and we had zip to do while we waited for parts. It was a pity we were on the opposite side of the water to where they were camped or we would have had some up close views of this awesome speedster. Still amazes me that he built it in his back yard and it still holds the water speed record to this day. His top speed comeing out of the measured km traps was 345 mph. Averaged with his opposite direction ( 1st ) run, gave the record of 317.58 mph. He and his son are looking to break this record with a new boat. Hope they get it done .

@bogged2theeyeballs695 Год назад

Ken Warby is an Aussie legend and will be 84 years old in May this year. World Record was set at Blowering Dam. Tumut. NSW. on 8th October 1978. The day after my Birthday.

@glocktogo Год назад

I can truly appreciate what it takes to run a watercraft at speed. So far the fastest I've driven on water is 73.4 mph. It's completely unlike doing the same speed on land. There's so much information to process and every input on the wheel is magnified. I just bought a new boat and we hit 84 mph on the test run. I'm sure it will take quite a bit of wheel time to feel comfortable driving it over 75 myself, much less the 90+ mph it's capable of. At just over 21' in length and a hull under 1,500lbs, weight and balance of the boat are critical too. You definitely can't just hop into one and drive it like you stole it!

The fastest I have driven at sea is 71 Miles / 114 Kmh, this is now about 25 years ago. When you see these "water-going fighters" it is just "Jogging" in comparison. But it was fast for a self-refurbished 16 feet with a (self-refurbished) 130 outboard engine. It cost me about 2500 US + a lot of petrol to have it for two summers, but it was fun too. After that I have not been over 15 knots, thanks for a good video (all the boats were old familiar) 💖💖

Like how we saw 2 C5000(race) mystics both with turbines. Also if I’m not mistaken. Literally the same Hull… I believe I cannot remember if the Quatar mystic is the Ex JBS or Aqua Maria hull. Also the mystics look like there 50ft based on there name and other info listing them as that. But really there more like 48.. Also no mystics build with a canopy, American ethanol, my way, envy, df young(cintron), Geico, bud light, jbs, aqua marie, all were built with surface drives. None with stern drives.

Bras D'or is pronounced "bra door". The hydrofoil was based on work done by Alexander Graham Bell on the Bras D'or lake in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. The Blue Bird name came from Donald's father, Sir Malcolm Campbell, who also chased the water speed record. Malcolm held both water and land speed records during his lifetime.

9:33 Fastest WARSHIP perhaps, but it's not a battleship. It's also barely IF AT ALL faster than ships like the Pegasus (which was a similar US hydrofoil design).

@brrebrresen1367 Год назад

and then it's the thing of military ships that still is in use that still some aspects is kept secret. take the KNM Skjold class, they are corvettes "certified" (aka, what they want to leak of info) for 60 knots but that is with the power-output they had when released, a number that have been increased.

@bricefleckenstein9666 Год назад

@@brrebrresen1367 It's an old story about the military wanting to "keep something in reserve", but it's gotten badly outdated in this age of sat recon. I suspect it's more "force of habit" today.

The Bras d'or and Pegasus were both based on the work of Alexander Graham Bell in hydrofoil design.

@@lelandlewis7207 Isn't that true to at least some degree for ALL hydrofoils?

@lelandlewis7207 Год назад

@@bricefleckenstein9666 yes, because Bell developed the idea, but these early hydrofoils were based more directly on his work and allowed improvements for later boats. Now, with computer modelling and better unddrstanding of profile effects and other aspects of wing design, we have moved well past it.

I remember going to the SDBA (Southern Drag Boat Association) races in Texas as a kid. Those things were insanely fast. My mothers friend owned a boat called predator which was fairly fast (160+ mph) but wasn’t even close to some in the higher classes. I remember boats like Aquaholic that were nitrous oxide fed absolutely stupid fast. I can remember one wrecking in the water and it was quite a sight. Front started hitting the water and rising up higher each time until it hit the water a final time and disintegrated. Took about 20 minutes to fish the capsule with the driver out. They were only able to salvage the engine sadly.

Back in the 1960s Racing craft called Canada 4 almost set record of 205 mph on Lake Muskoka , However the engine quit with in several hundred feet of the finish line and record was not broken. This vessel can be located at a museum in Gravenhurst Ont today

That cig vee would have a very tough time reaching anything over 125ish The lack of a canopy ruins the air flow over it. Without a canopy, one. No official run would ever be allowed to go for it. Also without the air moving over the top smoothly. It just simply can’t get there. The dcb cats won’t ever go over 160ish Again air flow, also being under 38ft.. anything over 160 doesn’t have the weight to keep the boat planted in the water
