- Here is a look at the best race of our inaugural season. Race 1 on Saturday in Sydney was it. Near misses with spectator craft, multiple lead changes and over 30 knots of boat speed made for amazing viewing.

Great racing and 4 years ago , hydrofoil experience that other countries haven’t been getting . It’s not surprising the Aussies are the top boat in the ‘SailGP’ super series!
Cheers Warren
Just fantastic sailors and boats!
Some of the most exciting racing and announcing I've ever seen.
We are thrilled to hear that you think so Leo! Keep an eye out for more SuperFoiler action soon!
Lots of fun! Never have seen such fast sailboats. Central Oregon Coast - the USA
Awesome race!
It's crazy race between so many other boats!
Man I love Hydrofoils! Certainly something everybody has to experience!
That looks like a lot of fun.
Amazing!
Stunning sailboats
thank you! we are glad that you think so!
A wonderful demonstration of technology in general, as we are watching this sailing race from on the boats at times, as well as with helicopters, long telephoto lenses, and audio from the crews. Oh, yeah, the boats! Or foilers, or missiles, or hydrofoils, or whatever they are called, those things are incredible, with speeds of 30 knots (55 kph) in winds of 20 - 25 knots. Trust the Australians to run Formula One and kiddy races on the same track at the same time! That is what this is, the new Formula One of inshore racing.
Great racing
this is one of the crazies races ever
by far my favourite foil boat series hope for another championship soon
bravo pour cette traverse

A evolução do hob cat...maravilha parabens
Kind of like havimg a Formula 1 race with rush hour traffic on the track at the same time.
Greetings From a 6 Metre Called Vega!
Thats just awesome. So have these guys taken over from the 18 footers?
They have indeed Mitchell!
Greetings from France
Salut ;)
You've got your skippers, and you've got your pilots. Hope they don't have inadvertent meetings out there.
Technique leaves strategy in the dust -- oh well.
That is one hell of a race, made even more complex with so many other boats disrupting the lanes, water and air.
Are such races always held amid a stream of what amounts to 'moving barriers'?
The members of the public who are out on the water are made aware that there will be sailing taking place during our racing periods. It is therefore their decision to be out on the water during this time in close proximity to our machines! It certainly makes for exciting viewing!!
👍 👍 👍
It had to be in Australia, who else would run a race with boats that can touch 50 and allow all those little boats to be all over the place, if ever there was an accident waiting to happen its got to be this, and at those speeds it will be one hell of an accident, clearly if one of thexe boats hit you it would near cut you in half.
What really got me is that those people out there just messing around can see one of these tri hulls coming down on them, and they still refuse to get out the way.
I really am amazed at this it really is dangerous to the limit, surely they could ask the small boats to stay well clear of the race, its not as if it lasts all day.
I am also amazed that racing has come to almost flying there is so little of the boat in the water, mind you i also noticed how quickly they come to a stop if you dig the bow in, its almost like an instant stop, i have seen one somewhere else actually summersult after doing it so its not for the faint hearted.
Вот это аппараты!!! Аж трое на трапециях! Точно не для пенсионеров...
за час сколько км скорти едит
What am I watching ? How cool is this......
You are watching the best race from our SuperFoiler GP Season 1 Sydney series! For more info visit our Facebook page at facebook.com/SuperFoiler/ or our website at www.superfoiler.com .... Updates for Season 2 coming soon!
Yeah I’ve been on it mate... wicked little boats... I don’t know I would try it thou
Propper sailing video! none of that lifestyle padding. How do they control the height above the water? Is this the switches on the tiller?
Same question.
@@RBAERO yes
Great coverage! wouldve loved some more angles of the start!
Only the start had nice coverage. After was pretty hard to follow the race. Extended zooms on the shoulder or the shoe of one or the other sailor didnt help at all. Only on boys you could understand. That zooms are useful to be used in incidents. TV-Chef probably didnt have any relation to sail racing in high speeds. Although after the first 3 boys things got much better. In any case I am glad and thankful for this post. That f
18ft was much more action and fun, the struggle with the elements was more intense
Wow, those things are fast! Basically more of a floating sail than a boat but fun to watch. But why are so many boats sailing thru their course?
Why should I mis my day just because you go much faster?
What's the plans for 2018-19? Who's the teams?
We are currently finalising our 2019 series 2 plans and will have all the info up on our social media platforms and website soon!
@@Superfoiler sweeeeeeet
Kinda like steeplechase, except the obstacles move.
Was doing saftey boat work in Sydney for the mirror worlds over new year. The traffic is absolutely insane. So many boats, so much wash, n those Manley ferries, terrifying. Absolute bulldozers. The natives have such an advantage. And id say 70% of the powerboaters are prize dickholes. Sailboats less so, but the number of 'what were you thinking!?!' Moments were more in that week than my last 30 years on the water.
It certainly is one of the busiest harbours in the world in terms of on water traffic!
Show the speed!!!!!!!
Great racing! poor course placement.
Speedometer overlays along with the coverage and commentary would be a nice touch, and a bit of automation might also replace the labour-intense crews, making the sport single-handed sailing.
Thank you for your comment Robin, we have taken them on board for season 2!
Why would making it single handed make it better? Its nice to see boats with people doing things on, defiantly adds to the action.
@@Superfoiler speedo would be great! Also some mapping would be an excellent addition.
Why automate, its a team sport, teamwork is equally as important as fitness and individual skill.
Thank you for your feedback Robin, it is always great to have new ideas brought to the table.
Is that a ferry crossing the course at 6:31?
Where are these boats made in Australia? Which factory?
Baco. A vela
What's up with all the traffic?
Aqaucrafts superfoilers I think but not boats? Looks fun though, but windsurfers go fast too.
Wonderful to watch. thank-you. Too bad the inane commentary duo couldn't just shut up and let the amazing sailing speak for itself.
Thank you for your feedback Chris, we have taken it on board for season 2!
It would be great to have GPS tracking. Otherwise really nice
how much are these boats to purchase?
i guess the other boats were from another race
Many races going on.
WTF with all the traffic on the racecourse?
A racing course is a racing course is a racing course. Everyone suffers in the same way.
Get rid of the weekend sailors! Official spectator boats only. It's like having people taking driving lessons on the racetrack during an F1 event. Ridiculous! If the sailors have somehow agreed to this, then hats off to them.
Red boats are faster!!
okay
it looks like a self tacking jib
ААААЕЕЕЕЕЕЕ

Wow, and Woe.
Great racing and boat-handling challenges, but as a promotional piece, this needs work, IMHO.
The commentators had a fair grip (except the over-hyping and irrelevancies from the woman) but we got too much of a disjointed picture.
When we spectate we like to look at particular battles, and zoom out to gauge the complete scene, then zoom in on something again, not necessarily the same as before. Overtaking down the fleet can be just as exciting as a Messianic dedication to the top two or three. Variety, including the excellent, but not only, plus TGSOT.
Media planning, presentation, needs a lot of attention, IMO. Take a story, and edit in connected links. Story = event + event + result, even if it's a sub-story somewhere in the middle. 'Look at this... Meanwhile...'.
As in a movie, there can be many simultaneous threads and jumps between, but each deserves its own continuity, ultimately, and purpose or conclusion.
The sprint for the line is an example: the black boat got swamped and we saw the red one power past, but there was little analysis (until the interview) of what happened, whether they would be able to get back up to speed or not, how far the line was away, and where blue boat was. Others.
(Someone here mentioned a map. Realtime map overlays with wind and marks, a la the A/C, would go a long way to making things mean more, but maybe that tech isn't available here yet.)
Maybe it's a question of resources, but the reason for this vid's being here is to tell a story composed of multiple threads. That's intensity and excitement.
On, on...
How everything comes around foils invented in the 40’s now everywhere.
Hopefully will fade as fast...
Yeah, about that, I don't think they will
hey : MIGHT has RIGHT (of way, that is), why are they dicing with all those big boats, esp. those ferries??, death wish?
not good foil design !
While the one side foil produces the lifting force, the other side foil should provide the inverse, deepening force. Both side foils can do it automatically stabilizing the hight of the boat over the water surface!
Why doesn’t this class have wing masts? Would be way cooler that way.
Thats a lot of force to actuate by hand
@@KnowledgePerformance7 And expense, I imagine. Not really necessary, IMO.
@@ardwych4881 doesn't really seem like cost is something they care about rn

I love these foil regattas but quite frankly this seems stupid when the supposed race happen right in the middle of the Harbour where clearly none of the traffic is controlled. The boaters are all over the place, crossing the path of the race boats. If you are going to organize a race, at least do it properly and make sure no one from outside the race can just cross it and bring some of the contestants to a full stop. Can you imagine yachties crossing path in the middle of an America's Cup race? "Just passing by, thank you!"
What the fuck ?! Didn't restraint traffic from the competition area ?!!!
Great video editing. I thought narration would help with a sport I'm not familiar with. But, sadly no. The announcers are awful. I would've turned the sound off but then I can't hear the wind. Way too much traffic for this event to be held. I guess this event will be stopped once some boat loaded with a happy family gets speared and sunk. Cheers!
Thank you for your feedback. We will take your comments into consideration for Season 2. With regards to the traffic on the harbour, all of the public's boats are are informed of the event prior to setting sail, it is therefore their choice to be on the harbour at the heart of the action during our races.
u guys need to update ur website
We are currently working on updating our website at the moment... watch this space!
@@SuperfoilerThanks for replying!
like a stolen car!! sail it like.. lol
Its just not cricket!
The constant commentary is overly instructive and mismatched for the event. The race is through a veritable obstacle course of other boats and large wakes in a fresh breeze. Every time a boat comes down off the foils, commentary seizes upon the situation admonishing crew for improper boat handling, when it is obvious to everyone else watching that the boat couldn't be handled any other way as it is ramming through a wake. The comments seem totally canned and predetermined to a point of distraction. Much of the dialogue ignores the race being presented.
Who employed the commentators? Complete wankers. Sorry, I'm old school solings etchells and Farr40s. Far more enjoyable
How does your experience on Solings, Etchells and Farr40s affect your reading of the commentators, Sob?
I do agree that the com'rs were searching for something to say, often, and the woman was hyping unnecessarily.
@@ardwych4881 I got out of dingies and into keeled yachts early in the piece so I'm probably biased. That was my point
These commentators should move on to Rugby League, or maybe that is where they learnt all the superficial meaningless superlatives.
You have that right.
Or perhaps you should simply expand your vocabulary beyond that which you learned in second grade.
@@bushflyr7335 - who's that directed at? The commentary was artificial and disjointed much of the time, IMO.
The silliest narration. Worst commentators. Trying to create some drama where theree is none. They should comment a cooking show instead
@bare nekid I do have to agree, especially the woman, too often stating the bleedin obvious or inconsequential. I'm all for commentators explaining the basics to strangers, but exaggerating to attempt to build interest is just fakeness. Back on course, please, lady.
This place is a shit place to sail these boats! hahahahah
