Sailing a Superboat Across the Atlantic in Record Time

Even the most daunting world records are meant to be broken… eventually. For elite navigator Stan Honey and a crew of sailing all-stars, beating the prestigious monohull transatlantic sailing record was the ultimate accomplishment. And it was no easy feat. On July 22, 2016, the Comanche-a custom-built, 100-foot racing yacht-set sail from New York to the southern tip of England. Precisely five days, 14 hours, 21 minutes and 25 seconds later, the Comanche’s crew shattered the world record … by more than a day. Brave the high seas as we set sail on one of the most amazing and inspiring journeys ever to take place on film.

They really are a fine sea boat with many excellent qualities, the down side is the minimal freeboard aft. The boat I found abandoned in a Fort Lauderdale boat yard and bought it for the storage debt, then spent two years reworking and overhauling the boat. I fitted the boat with a Hydrovane self steering gear which was a third crew member, we took 8 hour watches and survived the tail end of a hurricane which was nearly the end of the adventure at that point. I should write down the whole trip in a blog and include pics if time allows. The boat is still in Southampton UK with the person who bought it from me in 1993.

I did this for 8 years, in the US Navy. Joined 11 days out of graduation, and left at 25. Was one of the most awesome experiences I have ever had. The best experiences were sailing to all the ports of call, like France, Sweden, and England, to ports of the Indian Ocean like Africa, Pakistan and the Persian Gulf. The worse experience I ever had, was in 1979, when the US Navy ordered all ships to sea to ride out hurricane David. We called it a "himacaine" because it was right after they started naming storms with men's names too. I remember it was 3 days either in your rack, or on watch. You ate bagged food, because the galley couldn't cook. The ship would take a roll, and you'd actually be walking on the bulkheads, as the ship rolled from port to starboard. We were a post WW2 class destroyer, one of the oldest at that time, and we sustained the least amount of structural damage, while the newer Spruance Class destroyers, got beat up. That was when the first gas turbine power plants were first utilized, the USS Spruance, John Hancock, and Moosbrueger. Sorry, didn't mean to ramble on. It's what sailors called "telling sea stories". Hi Ho BOHICA!

@doginwoods 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the comment. Back then, it was more an adventure than the wars many sailors have gone through today. I was on a destroyer, the first to do test trials for the Tomahawk Cruise missiles. We all thought they were so bad azz. My hats off to those who actually used those bad boys, from the first fired in the first Gulf War, in 1993 (or 91, don't remember), to the wars still ongoing today. Bravo Zulu!

Even as a sailor the boat never, ever fails to take my breath away. I remember sitting on the rail of a fifty footer going really well when I heard this ENORMOUS groan. I lifted my head up and looked to windward to see Comanche easing her genny about half a mile to windward of us on the same reach... It was unbelievably powerful and breathtaking as she came powering past us, it still makes me smile and just wish for 5 mins on her. It will be hard for none sailors to comprehend the power, technology and skill it takes to make this boat hum but I kid you not, take an F1 car drive it down a mountain piste flat out in the rain and you will have a little bit of an idea what it might like to drive this. We hit 20 knots in our J/120 and that was nerve racking, to do double that in this? PHWOOOOOOAAAARRRR

All these technogy used. You’re brining down the best of the best sailors in the world, spending nearly 50 million on a boat which is made of pure carbonfibre including cupholders, ladders, beds and toilet seat. Engineers using super computers calculating the perfect hydrodynamic hull with mast and everything. GPS, navigational software, the weather data by the second. and yet.. you can only shorten the time travelled by 2x in 100 years. I salute and honor the people in 1905.

Technology comes with the years, so it is part of the evolution process. These people still deserve respect for what they did and did not speak down on the record set in 1905. These guys must have amazing amounts of courage and knowledge to do this and they get my respect for that.

Yeah that's how everything is cars, top speed was 30 mph at some point now it's like 300 mph... tallest building was 20 stories at some point, now its 150 or round it up.... anyways you get the point. We are growing, we are learning and building on from our ancestors.

@tombackhouse9121 4 жыл бұрын

There's a point of diminishing returns, at the point you hit the hull speed a monohull takes exponentially more energy to go incrementally faster, you're losing energy to your bow wave essentially. There's a limit to how light you can make your boat before it tips over in the wind, and the heavier the boat the more water you have to shove aside. That's why this boat is all carbon fibre with a canting keel; first concentrate all the weight as low down as possible, then swing it out to the leeward side to counteract the force on the sails. That's how they keep it light. Multihulls sidestep this problem to some extent by spreading the support out to either side; your boat is essentially several times the width, which means it can be much lighter, while flying more canvas. More force, less drag, and you can keep most of your working / living space up high and only trail a couple of long narrow hulls in the water. If I could afford a boat, I would still go monohull though. If I had places to be I could buy a plane ticket.

The episode was fantastic and although times have changed in sailing, it's still dangerous. Anyone who has crossed the Atlantic Ocean knows it can be fatal without precautions and perfect planning. I have traveled to and from Germany in large ships and can only imagine crossing in a small vessel. The video was very exciting for folks like myself who only sail in fair weather!

I race inland lakes and I can't imagine racing across the ocean. My favorite boat (the one I own, instead of a boat I just sail on) is a 13 ft styrofoam boat I found in the trash and repaired and rebuilt myself. I have never lost a race in it (running solo, I took a friend with me in a charity regatta and got 3rd of 31)

@casualguy393 5 жыл бұрын

I worked on powerboats for a while, but seeing Comanche slice through the water was awesome. The only thing that made me chuckle in the video is at about the 15:00 mark where they are talking about how vast the ocean is and being alone in it, when what appears to be a cargo ship in the upper right corner is visible. Come on man! Any other clip would be better there hahaha

I noticed that too. I guess, the problem is: They couldn't take many helicopter shots when the boat was actually out at sea. So they had to take them all close to shore, probably with a lot of traffic around

This boat is exciting! I love that there is not an emphasis on engine power, that the winches are powered by people. Yes, there is an engine, which powers the canting keel, as well as several other hydraulic devices, and the water maker. And also charges the batteries which power the navigation equipment. But this is so much cleaner than motor sports, I believe.
