Sailing the Transatlantic Maxi Yacht Cup on Wally 100 Indio. Onboard is VOR sailors Shannon Falcone (Puma), Luke Molloy (ABN), Gustav Morin (Ericsson 3).
Great video. I love the ending. Reminds me of the story of the captain that declared he knew every sandbar in these waters and as the boat runs aground he says" There is one of them now."
"I call Monica Paolazzi at Wally in Monaco to check on a report that the 23.99m Indio has been sold and she confirms that the yacht now has a new owner and a new name. Built in 2004 to a Bruce Farr design, Indio accommodates up to seven guests in a master suite, a double and a twin cabin plus a Pullman berth. She was on the market at an asking price of €3.75 million and Wally acted for both the buyer and seller. Indio’s new name is Inti." -27 May 2009 by Malcolm MacLean (boat international . com) 24m original price, sold for close to 4m to (3rd? owner) wondering why 14m was mentioned by IC BM? )InterContinental Ballistic Misshile? lol
@@vincent5 If I had that kind of money I would much rather buy an old americas cup yacht and sail it with my friends. I think the crew have more fun than the people hiring them and watching them sail while drinking champagne.
Great video guys you made it look so easy! Im just learning to sail and hope I get an opportunity to crew a boat like this one day. Gorgeous boat my favorite builder.
Yep, rich female owner and friends employ the services of some hand-picked handsome deckhands to pilot craft across the Atlantic! Fair play, lady! Like your style!
I think flying a spaceship would be, but we'd need a few new pieces of tech like anti-aging, faster engines, or stasis chambers. If we invent anti-aging today we can all live to see that reality.
This was absolutely fascinating - I hate sail boating lol but I love watching it. I was introduced to it poorly like....... "hey my friends boyfriend has a boat, asked us to take a ride with them, Interested? I think it would be nice" to where I replied "sure dear" long story short...... worked the whole time 😡 never been again since. I did watch this whole video and it was incredible. The chemistry of you all, the dedication and commitment - bravo 👏🏼
Acoustic guitar sounds great. Agree with the sleep thing. #1 eat right #2 sleep. You're the most important piece of equipment on the boat. Take care of it.
Wow, what a beautiful yacht. Just a little too big for me to Sail single-handed in my pending plan to be the first disabled female to sail single-handed around the world !!
I don't think you comprehend how skilled you have to be to get on a AC team...just a grinder. Every storm cycle changes the depth and moves sand around. What was once deep enough could the next year be too shallow.
Did they lose the captain on the way or did he do too much coke ? First part is him not sleeping for couple of days and lifting sails and second part bunch of other people coke up and party but the captain is nowhere in sight.
Lol, I think they didn't notice him falling overboard at some point of this trans Atlantic party cruise, its hard to notice these things over the sound of how important these people find themselves.
There is a speck on the lens at about @11:30(1/3rd of the way down from the top left corner to the bottom right corner) and I kept trying to clean it off my screen!
Hey, that looks like the bottle that got caught in my cooling water intake & caused my boat to burn. :) lol Looks like great fun. I guess a big fast boat, plenty of crew & supplies makes all the difference.
Great work Vernon. Hope it's not too expensive to fix your bowsprit support!. Winter seems like it just started here in February, The temp is in the minus at night! It's slowing progress a bit. I wanna get out of here by the end of March! I'm gonna watch ep 59 now. Cheers.
this short video really does make it look like an awesome time. i did the crossing on a motor yacht, it took longer than usual because the sea was extremely rough for the most part. had to stop off in the azores for fuel. but i wouldnt want to do it again. 14 days of endless rough steaming. granted there were a few gorgeous days but in general not a pleasant experience. only thing i can take from it is to say that ive done it.
That is like if it is driving if you can start the engine pushing a button and you have power steering instead of spinning a handle and have direct steering. This yatch is a cruiser-racer, but cruiser after all, more time than racer
Looks like it was an awesome trip, with high ups & mellow downs. That's the best you can hope for on any expedition! ...It's funny how getting bored on a yacht seems unthinkable when you're stuck on land.
1.7 times the square root of the waterline length gives you the maximum speed for a displacement hull. In other words, a longer boat is faster. :-) (Assuming your sailors know what they are doing and the boat is rigged properly, which if you are racing across the Atlantic... it had better be.) :-)
Dave Hamburger To exceed the hull speed, the boat must climb over its own bow wave. That is how "planing" occurs. Essentially, your waterline must be shorter than the boat's bow wave. You can imagine how fast a 100' boat would need to be going to have that happen :-)
Thanks for the video, it keeps me inspired with my schooling and goals. Its mass nice to see young people, both women and men working on the ship together. I loved seeing the boredom and play, the music and focus. My questions: When you're in a swell do you use your body as a counter balance, is it effective? (I've never sailed with more then 2 other people) Did you catch fish? Would you rather race or take your time. If take your time, how long would you expect it to take in such a ship? -tara
Haha I can only answer one question but on a boat this large, the human weight means next to nothing. They have a keel (heavy weight below the water line) that probably weighs a few tons that provides all the counterbalance they need
Wicked video!! During that transatlantic we established radio contact with Hetairos,before they vanished,sailing like a bat out of hell! Anyone know whats the song at 5:04?
In high winds like that a helmsman is constantly adjusting the trim of the boat and sails relative to the true wind to maintain a straight line, and maintain optimal pressure on the sails so that the wind isn't steering the boat for you. When the boat is heeling hard the wind begins to exert more force on the tiller (you see how he's hauling hard on the wheel when the boat is heeled?... then releasing and letting the boat stand more upright to get the sails back in the higher wind?) Its an art.
Nice boat and a lively crew. 2 questions. 1) Why the skipper had to tag of war with the steering in order to steer the boat? 2) It looked like the boat wasn't turining when the skipper was turining the wheel. is it just my impression?
Cris Steg Chris, you are absolutely right. #1 it IS horrible and #2 yes you can dump just about anything if you are far enough from shore. Doesn't mean you should though. Yea its just one bottle but its still trash adding to the already immense amount of garbage already in the water. I might sound like a hippie but I'm far from it. I just like to see people respecting their environment.
Okay, so, it's a glass bottle. Glass is a natural material, as is for example metal. Plastics however, is not. Secondly, it's a message in a bottle. Ever heard of those?
Cruise ships are allowed to dump all their glass bottles in the ocean, I don't think the glass is so bad. It's the plastic that makes its way into the ocean that's bad.
One little glass bottle, oh come on. Ships, fishermen, entire countries dump hundreds of tons of plastic and crap into it every day. Message in a bottle is a tradition and it's either going to float or sink but it's not going to harm anyone or anything. Sure it didn't look good but your car does more damage to the planet in an hour, everything around you that you buy and use is mostly non-biodegradable and can harm animals and the planet - a little glass bottle is the least of our worries. The antifoul eroding on the bottom of the boat is more toxic to wildlife.
Yes you can, plus, if you are on your way for a trans-Atlantique run, Genova-Gibraltar-Azores isn't a big deal :) I don't know how old you are and where you're living, but, go on, ask for some cruising at sea near your place, practice, then there is Skippers who cross the ocean all year long and need a mate or many to convoy a boat to Azores, to Spain, to Caribbean and so on, you could find a good plan on the way. I've worked in Maxi boats and most of the crews were for the most part student (every day crew, not the racing one)who then had taken a year off to travel on a big sailing boat, it's a pretty closed circuit so it's not for every one, but there is plenty of other boats. good luck
i agree - these guys act like rich pricks - chucking shit in the ocean is disrespectful - are there decent sailors running the boat while the rich faces eat sushi, do naff fashion and get photographed?
Love this! even the mid crossing party!!great sound track as well!! Not to worry about your grounding.. everyone has done it a few times.. I hope you didnt damage her! She's a beaut! not easy to catch a fish travelling that fast.. its better to catch a few bait fish at the port before you leave.. freeze them until you want to fish.. then once thawed use the blood and juice as CHUM.. to tickle the nose of your tuna or Mahi mahi.. all the best!!
risk of grounding is always high with a 5m deep keel!!! It happened a few times actually, when trying to get into shallow anchorage to secure that "dream" spot!!!! It happens... no damage, it was soft sand/mud, sticky shit when you have a T shape bulb. That is why we had to use some Hp to pull her out...
