They have a drone in spare 🙂

@@peterebel7899 2 drones

@ tree Boris is sleeping The crew is doing the job ;-)

@@svengreve7341 The lost one in an earl stage of this leg.

Your statement is untrue. All boats are designed to go around the world. Malazia is only better equipped for high seastate downwind conditions. I read somewhere Malama was designed more for reaching conditions and is way lighter, like holcim, wich makes more sense in the long run. But time will tell what the best design for this race is! Quite exciting

@@dnarowdy His statement has merit. They may be designed for these conditions, but with half of the fleet breaking every leg, the designs are clearly not well designed for this race

Have you ever seriously sailed a regatta, finished regularly in the top 10% of a fleet and never broken anything? It’s about knowing your material and how far to push. The only design failure we’ve seen from these boats is a crack on the rudder of Malama. The rest is to be expected. Especially when you are racing for 30 days through the southern ocean. And apart from doing well in these conditions I don’t see Malizia winning any prizes with a heavy boat. There are really cool articles on the interent about the designs and the choises. It’s more interesting to comoare the expectations and choises based on that material and what we are seeing throughout the race then to say that it’s an oversight to design the boats the way the are now. You might even be surprised about who designed all these boats.

Also Guyot has circumnavigated the globe many times. Delamination problems were seen on the vo65 mapfre on the first lap around the world.

@@dnarowdy Most of these Imocas, apart from 11h, are designed mainly for the vendee. The Imocas are most of the time in the southern ocean when you look at the vendee, about 2/3 of the distance. It makes sense to optimize the yachts for that, with that said holcim/biotherm is a really good compromise for all conditions. When you look at the new designs, i would half of them go in the direction of a pronounced scow bow, which was introduced by bureau vallee, now malizia and charal. The other half goes the way of holcim or 11h, optimized for more conditions. Guyot was not made with these big foils in mind, yes it went around the world 2 times as far as i can tell, but not with these massive foils. The loads which go through the yacht are massive compared to the yacht alex thomson sailed 7 years ago with the small foils. Simply put the loads are to high for the hull, with crashing and hitting the waves in spots where the hull was never meant to be hit that hard. I think everybody knew that guyot wouldnt perform great bc the desing is flawed. Its like putting a V8 in a VW golf, sure it will be fast but a car meant for it will perform better and be more reliable than a modification.

Glad you noticed! It's The Ocean Race Diver from Ulysse Nardin 😍 The Ocean Race is lucky enough to have Ulysse Nardin as our Official Timing Partner.

The VO65s required too large a crew for covid rules and probably funding, and this was the next-best-thing available as well as a test run for the future.

@@cinavik Thank you! When I first saw the foils, I couldn’t get my mind off the southern ocean.

Hi Jay, the IMOCA was chosen as the new main class for The Ocean Race and unlike the VO65 which are one design, the IMOCAs follow a box rule. Having foils are an option but not an obligation.

Everyone confirms a seastate from 5 to 8mts and now there you are, the god of all weather forecasts.

At what time?

Under the speakin of the Moderator.

Shut up and appreciate the show.

on Melizia YTSide is the original video without music but full emotion
