Ex Machina 384 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Reminds of party pro and it’s equally as freakship and progressive as party pro was Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 157 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Its insane, the cockpit is so sparse and no dodger or pod, almost like it will sail robotically around the world with Alex as a Systems Manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 320 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Really interesting cockpit/cabin setup. I would love to see how that cockpit area works under the cabin with sheet leads ect. I guess the idea is to reduce windage and maximise shelter. These guys are pretty sharp with concepts and love pushing boundaries. If it holds together then this boat will most likey win the vendee. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,286 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Pretty much absolutely what I thought Josh. These boats are incredibly wet, and a dry and warm sailor makes better decisions. This looks like the water will wash over the stern more easily than the previous models, which should give her less resistance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimB 7 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Should be less solid water over boat when flying/foiling if that is what this new boats is supposed to do. Still has drag several tonnes of lead with them so not so easy to fly. tb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philstar 62 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Yep very similar hull shape to Charel which has a more traditional cotpit/ dodger set up. Interesting interview with jeremie bayou and sam davies on facebook. They were both saying that when these boats are at full speed you simply can't move around safely, cook, eat do maintenance or anything. Maybe the inside of alex's cabin is just a big pink padded cell........ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

S.M.U. 15 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 That's amazing, but surely a 10 litre of white house paint wouldn't go astray. I know black is fashionable and higher resale but after 70 or so days in there I'd be bonkers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 A little more teasing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evyi6Yy8C1w I showed that vid to my 4 yr / old boy, he goes 'hydrofoil', has seen one in his big book of machines.... At a basic level, they've designed a submarine, with the crew and all systems downstairs, designed for the water to go un-impeded over the top. But the submarine is designed to fly above the water... Rationalise that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,286 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Paint weighs too much! This boat has had a ton of money spent to make it light, no way they would waste 10 or more kg on paint. But its sure dark in there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ladyhawk 37 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 You'd think so aye?, even a bit of tint in the epoxy to lighten it up a bit! I guess paint is excess weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cantab 341 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 At a basic level, they've designed a submarine, with the crew and all systems downstairs, designed for the water to go un-impeded over the top. But the submarine is designed to fly above the water... Rationalise that. Designed for the air to go over the top too, stick your head out your car sunroof at 30knots and you will get the idea.

Priscilla II 414 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Crikey this is what competitive ocean sailing looks like from the skippers perspective. No longer in the elements but tucked away in a carbon boom box. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
