Command station - IMOCA60 cockpit 

Couldn't agree more.

I have long thought on bringing all my lines underfloor aft to the helm and adding an enclosed watch house but crikey she's a lot of work

@@edwardtupper6374 even for an IMOCA teams it makes way more sense to build the boat with this sort of thing in mind, rather than retrofitting. Bumped into a story last month maybe about a team that were going to do this but they went and did a new hull instead, unless it was rebuilding the entire deck from scratch?

This was excellent, but hearing it from Samantha Davies is the best -Beautiful voice in english or french. Seriously,we are lucky to have her in sailing 'cause I am sure she could make bigger bucks doing voice-overs.

Jesus, that's AC75 boat speed.... That is incredible.

@@GregoryVeizades Yep, couldn't imagine doing that solo haha

50 kn WS, not SOG

It is said that boat racing has been around ever since the second boat was launched ;)

@@AlexandreAubrey Yes, I imagine so. I have heard that the second woman said, "Eve, I'm prettier than you." Competition has always existed for some. Me? I'll be keeping it at 7 and keeping the old blood pressure in check. But I'll keep an eye out for you entertaining racer boys.

K. A. Davison .....what I enjoyed most about racing around the marks with our local club was how much I learned about my boat in general, and fast response boat handling. All of it made cruising much safer when things go even a little wrong. This kind of racing is rarely over 5-6 knots anyway.

K. A. Davison, if you like it at 7 knots... you will love it at 40+ knots.

next version

They’ve got cameras on the bow and mast and monitors in the cockpit.

@@freefinancialadvice just remind you that the organisers of the volvo ocean race had no idea how many fishermen were plowed over and killed in Hong Kong harbour. Staring at a screen might work on flat water less than 10 knots. These push 40 knots, anything under 10 knots is practically stationary. I am genuinely impressed by these boats but as a sailor myself I think it should be better recognised the dangers these boats pose.

@@Owenlightowler The nighttime accident occurred Friday during the round-the-world competition's fourth leg between Melbourne and Hong Kong, when the Vestas 11th Hour Racing team of United States competitor Mark Towill and Spaniard Roberto Bermúdez de Castro collided with the fishing boat in Chinese waters outside Hong Kong. Likely no running lights -
