Almost unbelievable speeds being attained by sailboats. Congratulations to all designers and those who sail in those boats, as they may be fast but very uncomfortable,
Some impressive sailboats. I always wanted to design and build some foils for my Hobie 16 but never got around to it. Would have been fun. Too old to sail it now. The single hydrofoil PROAs are VERY fast. I saw a scale RC version that runs on a single central hydrofoil with basically what looks like a plane sitting atop the sail for pitch, yaw, and roll control. It was a scale model, but it was nuts. IIRC he was running over 40. Hard to picture without a drawing, but if you saw it you'd immediately understand. Going to a rigid sail with a good airfoil design will give a lot more power than a sheet and rib type sail, as well, but a PITA to transport and set up. Great vid!
Remarkable! All amazing, but if I'm not wrong I think l'Hydroptere was the beginner of this revolution, and still looks like maybe the stablest as well as the second fastest.
@@decasss yes, the point was that thanks to them in just 3 years the lower half of the list has only the historical value. And obviously back then I think even specs for AC75 class were not yet set in stone.
your americas cup stuff is pretty messed up..... you say the top speed is on an ac45 (and its not) as you show video of an ac50. then switch to an ac72?
The shot of Vestas Sailrocket is backwards. Normally it wouldn't really matter, but since that boat can only sail on starboard tack it's a shame to show it the wrong way around.
You forgot the "Techniques Avancées" Catamaran, designed at the end of the 1990s and which held the sailing speed record from 1997 to 2007 with over 42 knots. This was a breakthrough innovation proposed by the students of Ensta Paris which inspired the Hydroptère and the Vestas Sail Rocket
Why would you leave out the Hobie TriFoiler than can run at over 50 knots and has averaged over 44 knots on a measured mile, setting and still holding the Class A World Sailing Speed Record? (The Vestus Sailrocket is non-navigable - it can't turn. It runs on perpetual port tack.)
Yep. I may be wrong, but my understanding is this makes it difficult for software to identify these clips as infringing copyright content and flag this video.
Im pretty sure the top speed for the sailrocket was 68 knots, and there are a few boats that at the time of posting this comment, are much faster than most of the sailboats shown here.
All cool boats... BUT... as the guy sitting in and having been on quite a few of those actual boats... many of those numbers are total rubbish. If you're going to go to the effort of making this video... at least do a little fact checking first. Unfortunately this gets filed in the "Bad info I got off the internet" folder.
Scott Donaldson because some people still believe that mirroring the video footage you ‘borrowed’ from other channels counts as ‘transformative work’ and protects them from copyright. Newsflash: it doesn’t.
Maybe boat people know and visualize well the speed un knots but some people like me also like board and our simple brains only thinks un metric. Sorry for my english, my first lenguage is spanish.
They're relatively similar, a knot (nautical mile per hour) is 1.1 statute (non metric) miles per hour. A nautical mile is not a metric measurement, it's equivalent to 2025 yards, usually shortened to 2000 yards. It's also a 60th of a degree of latitude, which is a 180 to 360th of the Earth's circumference.
@Mario_Egea= Sailors are a conservative bunch : they have clung to the 360° Compass Rose. If grades were used, the Earth circumference would be : 400 grades = 40’000 km 1 grade = 100 km ; 1/100th of a grade = 1 km ; However since degrees are used : 1 degree = 40’000 / 360 = 111.111 km 1 minute = 111.111 / 60 = 1.852 km Thus one nautical mile (one minute of the Earth circumference) is 1.852 km (i.e. about 2 km minus 10%). To obtain an approx. value in kmh from knots, multiply by 2 and retrench 10%. Example : 50 kts ~= 90 kmh The exact figure is 50 kts x 1.851852 = 92.5926 kmh (~= 93 kmh). The 100 kmh “barrier” is at 54 kts. ___ .
Why do you not show the really fast sailboats, I have had my class legal Nite over 70 knots and others have been faster. Buddy Melges was clocked at over 120 knots on Lake Geneva, WI.
Hopeless uninformative video, with quite inappropriate pop music soundtrack -- don't waste your time watching it . . . though it is only three minutes thirtyseven.
Nice to watch, but the title should rather have been something like “Some really fast sailboats”. All speeds given were wrong. Most were wild exaggerations of dreamed up momentary speed peaks. The last one was almost correct, but actually a wee bit too low, and that was the average speed over a mile. Cannot be compared to the other numbers! Another essential point is that Hydroptere and Vestas Sailrocket were the only ones on the list that were ever in possession of a speed record. The latter is still in possession of the outright record, both the 500 meter and the mile. To make the list anywhere near relevant, one at least need to add Crossbow2, Slingshot, the AC75s, the SailGP cats, and of course a lot of windsurfers and kiteboarders.
1) optimist dinghy
Ellie Cawley lol, number 2. Rs Tera.
While dragging it's anchor on a flat sea going downhill.
Lmao number 3: dabchick
As an optie kid I approve and I also hate the es Tera
Number four the sabot
Nice collection! My favorite is L’Hydroptère because she is build as cruiser (with motor, pantry, position lights etc). Not bad for a record-holder...
Gak, the background music was nauseating

Time to update the list to account for AC76's going over 50kts
I’m a RYA level 2 sailor, and 10 years old, I’m a little inexperienced to drive one of those!
You'll get there! :-) Cheers.

It appears that this entire clip was filmed thu a "rearview mirror"!!! Kind of funny but why?
Why is all writing on the boat mirror image?
Fastest I've sailed at is 20 knots on a cat that seemed really fast god knows what 50 is like
actually feels slow in my car.
@@pecopeco5907 GFY
odd that you got the thank you correct with all the boat images reversed.
Windsurfers have been topping 50 knots for past 15 years. Best of all you can take boat home on car roof rack when done for the day.
Just started windsurfing. Never imagined they can hit such speeds, so excited.
Wow, the AC75s really messed up this list, didn't they?
The video is 3 years old, I imagine there weren't so much information about AC75s

yeah theres a bunch of past record holders not mentioned. but I guess thats a dif video
The Hydroptere was originally based on prototypes developed by great sailor Eric Tabarly since the 80'.
why are all boats going in the wrong direction ? sailrocket can only sail starboard tack.
What’s with a lot of the logo’s being backwards?
What about the moth or f50?
Why are all the images mirror reversed?
Because they are stolen
You omitted Maquarie Innovation. The first boat to ever hit 50 knots.
Oi would that be Tim Whitford from Melb? Tim Mellor this end hope your doing well :)
Yes, it would be! Bloody hell. Tim Mellor, still breathing. Where, what, when? Hope you are faring well, as well.

and add windsurfers and kites...
Moth goes 36 knots
Nice sum up, but why did you have most of the footage mirrored?
Why on earth would you cut the sailrocket flyby so you can show a still of dull maxis?
So a Young Rocket 31 surfing at 32 knots is up there. Cool
This is old. The F50's of SailGP have hit 54 knots ( 62 mph ) in course racing.
Are we sure those offshore trimarans reached over 50 knots? Like Spindrift
Add AC75 to that list. Currently hitting 50+ knots
AC75's will be hard to place on this list because races are limited to a max wind of 21 knots. American Magic has the record of 53.3 knots (so far)
is patriot or patroit 2.0
@@adrianw519 Defiant was the first boat and Patriot the second boat. Patriot 53.3 knots PRADA Cup Semi-Final Day 1 Leg 6

Flipping images is a bit annoying too.
The vestas is insane
why can't i read the text on the boats?
the videos are mirrored or what?
Yep. I may be wrong, but my understanding is this makes it difficult for software to identify these clips as infringing copyright content and flag this video.
@@OvoJeGovno Thanks, was wondering if it was something like that.
So if you want a fast cruiser it will be a trimaran with foils?
All footage is mirrored. Looks awkward.
Probably to avoid copy right issue.
You forgot the IMOCA Charal : top speed 38 knots...
Yes but In 2017 the charal imoca wasn't built. But hey forgot windsurf with 59kn
@@lataverneduride personne à fait 59 n en windsurf
Where is banque populaire in this video the current transatlantic record holder a true test of speed
Spindrift 2 is the former banque populaire 5 (they changed the painting and the owner)
By the way idec 3 is now the current holder for the trophée jules Verne
I believe the guy that got the record in that Vestas boat also built the fastest land Sailer the clocks over a hundred miles an hour..?
Was a different English bloke.
😂 that's hilarious, so they are basically sea planes... not actually touching the water. No fair.

My brother in law's speedboat can't go as fast as the last one.

whats wrong?
L'hydroptère a dû limité sa vitesse à cause des contrôles de vitesse qui sont très strictes en France.
Crossbow
Why are all the images reversed? Did you steal this video from other creators?
Thumb down because it is mirrored
Why is the video inverted?
Scott Donaldson because some people still believe that mirroring the video footage you ‘borrowed’ from other channels counts as ‘transformative work’ and protects them from copyright. Newsflash: it doesn’t.
Just because junk music is free doesn’t mean you should use it.
ne pas oublier celui qui c'est lancé le premier Éric Tabarly
its a shame the film is reversed
What are these monohulls even doing in the picture they've had to go back to multihull technology to reach these speeds
AC75?
Foiling monohulls reach these sorts of speeds too
I hate when the music is so damned loud I shut the thing off. You don’t get more music by playing it loud enough to drive speakers into distortion.
thats fast
This video needs an update
Amazingly #1 is 20-50 TIMES cheaper than #2, or more. But can't go on the high sea.
All footage inverted. Does it mean all footage stolen ? It means I go away. Bye.
Cette musique au mètre qui rend fou ... dommage

Ну последнее судно узкоспециальное и способно двигаться только при определённом ветре, построено чисто для рекорда.
Sorry. That music. Oh oh oh

странно что тримараны быстрее катамаранов ))
70 knots is like 85 MPH.
it's more like 80.555 mph. It is fast.
@@dandaly7305 So 1 Knot is not 1,852 km/h?
Well this is boll#cks, no AC75, the most famous boat of the year! Come on!
