Priscilla II 392 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 There’s a interview with Sebastian Josse ex Rothschild where he describes how violent the Imoca designs are in a seaway. The minimal stripped out design philosophy where the emphasis is on automation and the continual monitoring of the physical status of the sole human contained within a hurtling bucking carbon boom box is as Lateral says masochistic lunacy. The deprivation of simple human comforts has been taken to a extreme which in my view will result in more risk than banging into a land mass whilst suffering from sleep deprivation as AT has already exampled. The romance of man alone conquering the elements has now entered a new and very dangerous phase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The boat designers OCD get the bettor of them in making the boat symmetrical Either that or they just designed one half of the boat and used the mirror command in CAD to save time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
