Sailing at Triple the Wind Speed 

I liked the music. Added to the vibe.

@@Mike-gz4xn Yea. No need to hear the commentary.

@@mchase4 I can hear it fine. Surprised you couldn’t.

get back on fortnite and make some content for some 8 year olds creep.

@@zacksmith5801 You must live a sad miserable life

Yeah definitely agree. Here's my basic understanding: Sails work not only by catching the wind, but also by generating lift like an airplane wing. Ironically because of this boats are faster going across from the wind (aka beam reach) than completely down wind (dead run).

@@garrettg5130 I like your fancy words

I’d rather hear the thing drumming across the water than the dada music.

Big sails+ less contact with water = More push and less friction. There..., explained.

@@Lobos222 That does an absolutely terrible job at explaining how something moves faster than what's pushing it along.

Its the formula 1 in sailing world

have you ever seen footage of a black marlin.. that is mind bending.. also mind bending is all stocks and cryptos are down... HEX coin $0.04 .. i got in a .45 so im down on my original investment but .. it will be mind bending that im buying the dip when we get to new all time highs. today is june 28 2022 the founder has a new coin coming soon called $PLS ... it will be mind bending when it hits $0.01 its not out yet but i sacrificed at 10000 coins for 1 usd. hope it comes out someday....

They turn quicker than anything bigger than a Lazer. Gives me hope for real tactics and deeper strategies. The races themselves, however, are set up to minimize tactics and strategy.

Was that "Crossbow"?

Introduced by Americans. Not NZ.

​@@cranegantry868 team NZ created the foiling era

@@slooob23 I was never skeptical, but a lot of "purists" took a dump on these boats. Closed minded have a hard time dealing with change.

The mono hulls on foils is a NZ design

Racing boats are as far ahead of regular sail boats as Formula one cars are from the regular grocery getter. And that's the way it should be. Hopefully there will be some technology transfer down the line to aid regular sailors but there will be no advancement if the sport is not allowed to innovate. As long as the boat lives in the water and is powered by her sails its all good.

I don't know much about sailing, but is there a traditional style of boat required for the America's Cup? I think there should be room for innovation, but this is more of a technology race rather than sailing prowess. Are there rules like stock car racing...meaning a set design and parameters? Thanks

It's because they are maximizing the technology at the expense of actual good racing

What is missing from the Americas cup is innovation and challenge. They are still sailing at a fraction of theory regardless of exaggeration and claims.

@@G.B.B. yes, there are extensive rules governing the designs of these boats for any given "challenge" series. For many years the rules didn't allow hydrofoils etc, but that has changed now. They still limit the size, rough design, materials used, etc etc. The different teams pay engineers big bucks to "find the meta" that fits within the rules and maximizes performance. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the engineers arrive at close to the same design as they are constrained by the same rules.

It's really freaking fast, faster than the speed of sound that is how fast... plus the loud music over the dialogue makes it seems much faster, you can feel the wind on your face now...

@@BLINDCABBY ahh sadly i couldnt hear him. Good ear though thank you

also sailboats dont have a set speed like motorboats do, they you know, sail. use the wind. so their speed depends on the wind. i know hard to imagine right?

@@elementalgolem5498 not hard for me to imagine. I should have said roughly how fast.

@@dustyharris1061 they did say they go 3x the wind speed several times

Maybe its good that WE dont get along so we come Up With great stuff

There is a certain group that has been devoted for a three millennia to hurting others and one tactic is divide and conquer. But if I named them I'd be immediately thrown off this platform because they run it !

This is a very expensive class - highly technical to develop and build. Sad to see an AC without the Aussies, Japanese, French etc, but you need a huge backer to be able to participate with this design...

Io mi auguro tornino ai monoscafi in uso dal 2000 al 2007. Erano molto più lente, ma c’era molto più spettacolo. Le World Series le ho trovate veramente noiose. Inoltre molti team del passato hanno detto che torneranno solo se torneranno le vecchie barche

​@@giancarlic1 Anche a me mancano i vecchi monoscafi e quel tipo di regate che avevano molto più fascino. Ed ero scettico anche io all'inizio su queste barche. Ma bisogna fare i conti con la realtà: ad oggi delle regate come quelle fino al 2007 le guarderemmo in troppo poche persone per giustificare un ritorno economico per gli investitori: lente e poco "televisive". Oggi invece i team investono in tecnologie che stanno già avendo ricadute sulla produzione di serie, le barche che filano a 40 nodi permettono di avere tempi tv in linea coi tempi di oggi e soprattutto attirano un pubblico molto più vasto. Senza contare che una volta si spendevano milioni di $ per guadagnare mezzo nodo, oggi con la stessa cifra ne guadagni 5 di nodi di velocità. Io penso che gli altri consorzi adesso si stiano un po' mangiando le mani visto il successo che sta avendo a livello di visibilità. Infine, bisogna tenere conto che le World Series sono state una "scusa" per spettacolarizzare i test delle barche che sono andate in acqua un paio di mesi prima. Io sono stracerto che la Prada Cup sarà molto più spettacolare: stanno ancora imparando come portare al limite le barche e c'è un margine ancora enorme sul come sfruttarle in termini di tattiche sia di partenza sia di navigazione pura. Vedremo ;)

@@tullochgorum6323 Every class in America's Cup is very expensive and this AC75 is no exception. And a huge backer/sponsor is not enough to be competitive. Take Ineos Britannia: rumors said that they have almost the double of budget than Prada, ETNZ and American Magic (stimated in 60million dollars), but if don't have the right people in the right places you'll not win :) I think, as i already said to @giancarlic1 , that others competitors are regreting watching the visibility and the success that this AC edition is having. I was skeptical, because i'm a old mono hull lover, but this boats with their speed made me think again. Now i love them :)

@@alessioanzalone9759 In general I agree. I think they look better than the cats, and there will be more scope for tactical racing. The starts should be exciting! But this really is a technical class. The rigs, hulls, foils, rudder, hydraulics, software systems... It's a huge undertaking to get one of these boats together. Hopefully they will keep this class rule for a couple of cycles. As it becomes better understood the development costs should come down, the racing should become closer, and hopefully more teams will get involved.

Makes no sense. There were no peanuts until he planted them when he got to America.

@@bubbahyde322 that’s the style of RU-vid analysis we never see in Parliament......

@@PhilbyFavourites LMAO!

@@PhilbyFavourites 😆😂😆

If Columbus had one of these the whole crew would be dead a third of the way across

Using electric motors will do that...

They don't know about it, then it doesn't exist. Proceeds breaking the speed of light.

Why? Cant transport anything on it And I daresay the viking long boats were perfect for what they achieved, crossing the north sea and infiltrating rivers carrying lots of angry people with weapons ....this thing isnt any of that

@@oftin_wong just a comment wasn't meant to be a debate.

@@leonbachman5345 fair enough they would marvel at it for sure

@@oftin_wong yes. It would have been like looking at a space ship.💫💫😳

@@oftin_wong make it bigger and you have all those things but faster

The crews are multi national, the boats are national. Best crews available.

It's rich thanks to all the sponsors on the sails and hulls - the actual sailors are only rich men due to success and they may only enter the sport due to sponsors from grassroots origins. The sport is still just as impressive and intense as any other sport

I can buy a small, decent sailboat for $2000 where I live. It can't do what this boat does, but sailing doesn't have to be as expensive as these boats.

@@pistolen87 I think De Nguyen was talking specifically about the America's Cup. Years ago I did wind tunnel testing for a couple different America's Cup teams and got a small peek behind the scenes. The people behind these teams were billionaires. I doubt that has changed. Also, after having owned a comparatively affordable boat myself for a few years, let me tell you that the initial purchase price is just the start. I don't regret buying the boat, but it was not an inexpensive hobby.

@@willdejong7763 All true, I just wanted to share some counter arguments to the statement that sailing is ONLY a rich mans sport. This kind of sailing certainly is, but not all kinds sailing is. Of course, everything is relative and if you live far from the sea or a lake, participating will cost more and unforseen costs and repairs can come up, but I just want to make the case for the people who feel discouraged by this statement.

It always has been. The .1% just keep getting richer and richer.

Yea Timothy, but it was fun and you loved it.

@@charlesclements4350 and you did not have to be very very wealthy

Wealthy, what is that? Never heard of it. I know what minimum wage is.

Sailing Hopatcong in nj is excellent

The speed record is way faster than these AC75 boats are capable of > 65 knots... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R4ogWm0-dzQ.html Radical design, for sure. Horses for courses as they say.

@@jamesaron1967 one way to go faster on water check out ice boats

Waka Waata yup they got a new design it's called an airplane ... get some the Nuge!

You care enough to post.

*whilst not showing one single clip that conveys just how fast they are.

They’ve always been pushing the tech farther and farther. Traditional keel boats are obsolete.

@@Vl7248 So is yacht racing then. These things don't belong in that category. I'm fairly certain if some competitors revived more tradional boats in a different, more traditional class, they would be immensely popular. Perhaps more so than these things. I'm not suggesting you are wrong, I just wish you were.

@@joeespo177 chariot racing eventually went away... fashions fade to make way for new ones

@@Vl7248 no not at all for every one of these machines there are thousands of boats racing every weekend on rivers, bays and lakes all over the world

@@radioboys8986 then you have exactly what you want. The big money wants to play with new toys.. let them. It’s spectacular

it´s physics, not mind-blowing drugs.

Roughly explanied, when the wind goes across the sail, it creates a low and a high pressure zone on the sail which accelerates the air around it making it faster than the actual wind speed. Works just like the wings on an airplane

@@kiruba1337false. It’s actually because of what is called “apparent wind”. Look it up

@@kiruba1337 YEP you have a constant pulling force due to the low pressure, if there were no resistance it would just KEEP accelerating. so the issue is reducing the drac to as little as possible.

Yip that would be a formula One wreak on water.

If you can see, to sail on a regatta today there is not the same like one houndred years ago. today is like "the foggy mountain breakdown" song .. but, I love the technology that make possible America's cup

I wonder about that too. This sport just got a lot more dangerous.

That would definitely be a spectacle

And they sometimes do! The results are spectacular with guys flying through the air and getting hurt & caught in the rigging, etc; not to mention doing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage to boat & sails.

because a sail isn't like blowing on a napkin, its more akin to wind, the wind over the sail applies a force, through the mast, to the hull of the boat. So you can get, through pressure forces, a force pushing the boat which, because they have so much little hull in contact with the water, and thus drag, is relatively very high.

@@pinkyfull Ha?

@@duerandaggi Google it. Sails aren't sails, they are big vertical wings.

@@pinkyfull Gee, what a great idea, thank you!

Sails are not directly pushed by the wind, that would actually limit the max speed of the boat to something less than the speed of the wind. The wind just gets diverted in a different direction. This change in direction applies a force to the sail. If you have a big sail, the quantity of wind you can divert is big, that means that the mass of the wind you forced to change direction is big. If the mass of your boat is less than the mass of the wind you diverted, and the friction of your hull doesn't dissipate that energy, you'll get an acceleration and a final speed greater than the initial wind speed. In another way, think of a teeter tooter: if a light person sits further along the arm she could balance an heavier person who sits closer to the center. Now think about the heavier person jumping on the teeter tooter, in a point as further from the center: the lighter person would be thrown in the air with a speed greater than the speed with wich the heavier person landed on the teeter tooter. In physics it's called conservartion of momentum.

Still only uses the wind, bro. That's still sailing.

uses wind and moves oh so close to the water, definitely sailing, bro@@scrumpymanjack

@@albertootero1697 whatever.

Jungle Jargon yup ... some rich men buy sports teams and race yachts and other rich men build subs that can go to the deepest depths and build rocket ships to take people to outer space. Everybody needs a hobby. I play cribbage and make comments on youtube.

@@donvandamnjohnsonlongfella1239 LOL!

Moths mate. That's what they modeled these on.

Look up, windsurf hydrofoil it is fun, relatively easy and exiting. Speed up to 38 knots on foils:-)

I heard they already have small ones being used at the moment

@@Beanione Moth. Been around for years...

You can do so right now. Foiling moths are available now.

Dean Barker? He's a kiwi

I was about to say the same thing. He is just the skipper for the American team and that’s why the US flag was next to his name.

I volunteer as tribute! Just to see if it could be done. It would be so awesome.

...Using water skis with foils of course ;)

yes yu can buy ot

Looks like these boats are doing 45+ at 15kts of wind, very quick. Not sure how they'd do at 30kts though!

@@jg-tz4fn With 30 knots of wind, the AC75s would have to use smaller sails and/or stay home. For safety, the race has an upper limit of 21 knots of wind. If winds are higher than that they delay the race until winds die down.

RU-vid Vanced Richard Pryer had a very hard time spending a millions dollars in Brewsters Millions. Drove him nuts too.

These are teams sponsored and funded by multi-billion dollar companies, the people on the boat aren't as wealthy as your post implies

With their speed I think a circumnavigation around a small island would be cool.

Isn't that how the America's Cup first started out? Yeah, maybe a returned to the past with these high tech boats/airplanes.

A plane is just a boat that floats on air.

@@thepuzzledsage Meh... If a plane stops moving it stops 'floating'. A normal boat doesnt need to move to float but this ones do :)

@@josevera5094 mehh......

Planes aren't powered by wind though.

One wing is in the air the other in the water!? Hasn't changed in many millennia.

Actually the sail has a wing like format, they are using 2 sails combined to give it the shape of a wing

well, they do don't they?

Rosalyn Mayfield if you are a woman I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to get on. I mean it might be hard but that's what the rich guy wants. A long hard ride. ;)

Same deal with the aircraft manufacturer.

be amazed when it flops on anything other than a mill pond.

The sails function like airplane wings. Instead of lifting a 100,000 pound aircraft into the the air, the air flow around the sail pushed a 16,000 pound boat across the water. There are dozens of sail boat classes that can sail faster than the wind. The AC75 happens to do it to the extreme.

Think about this, Lawrence - hold a grapefruit seed between your thumb & forefinger. Now squeeze. The seed will be shot forward totally out of proportion to the force applied. It's a question of how the force is applied. While hydrofoils enable a sailboat to rise out of the water thus getting rid of the resistance between boat & water it's even more impressive when an iceboat on ice can sail close-hauled over 100mph in a 25 knot wind. There is also the matter of hydrofoiling large ferry boats in use around the world for the last 40 years that rise up on their foils & speed along at 50mph.

the sails are shaped like a planes wing. They create a pressure difference. so on top of the regular wind the boat is sucked into that pressure difference and raises in speed.

You’ll never see 60+ on one of these ACs because foils start cavitating around 50knts. Basically the lower pressure the lower temperature is required to boil water. At about 50 knots the pressure on the lifting face of the foil is so low ocean temperature water starts to boil, making a air pocket around the foil and making flight to unstable and the boat will crash.

it is a promotion video, not an educational one.

Rich people waving their dicks around. Lets see this sail in choppy waters. 😉

Thanks you

No way. This is how sailing works? Bro we would’ve been fucked without your help. Who would have thought you needed to reduce drag and have a large sail to go fast as a sail boat….shit are you the foremost expert on sailboat technology? You’re like the nikola Tesla of sailing. We should dedicate entire cities in your honor.

Agreed, in fact all sports using machines. They should also allow steroids at the Olympics, if you are looking for the best the human body can be you should be able to use everything at your disposal.

Why bother having a hull. It doesnt get wet.

@@fredkelly6953 Wireless coaching during many sporting events has been banned .

Personally, my favourite of them.

a 3d representation would be nice

Basicly the sail is in the shape of an airplane wing which induces high and low pressure. The apparent wind bends on the outside of the sail. Air on the inside of the sail is moving slowing therefore creating a pressure difference. This pressure difference creates lift. Hence pulling the boat forward. While the true wind can only push. This is why the fastest you can go while going down wind is the speed of the wind. (due to there being no apparent wind)

@@samuellambert8490 WAIT THEY GO FASTER INTO THE WIND

@@christianblackmun4866 : Yes. While most boats can't sail DIRECTLY into the eye of the wind, just off to one side of the wind is usually the fastest point of sail. My boat does best about 35-40 degrees off the wind. That's where you get the most "lift" from airfoils the sail form. And there's some sideways force which tries to tilt the boat over. Which the keel translates to forward motion. There's a bunch of physics happening!

@@bobpoff2680 I've just been reading about this and I don't think your explanation is correct (it's what I thought too). It seems like its more that the sail is capturing energy from diverting the wind's direction than from generating lift like you describe. It's more like a simple conservation of momentum effect, the force of the wind being resisted by the hull/hydroplanes/whatever. I'm not a physicist though, I've just been reading Wikipedia articles!
