Watch this spectacular footage of the 130ft maxi trimaran Spindrift 2 as she sails from France on her fourth attempt to break the non-stop round the world record. The pace the 11 crew have to better is an incredible average speed around the world of 22.8 knots!

As a young man I took to trimarans. The Family built a 32.5 foot Art Piver "Herald" trimaran in a year while living in Sitka, Alaska. I read all three of Art Piver's books, and I was in love with his concepts about ocean sailing. Another book I read was the 1963 edition of "The American Practical Navigator" by Nathaniel Bowditch. Captain Bowditch has been lauded as America's first Mathematician. He did untold hours of tedious calculation in correcting the reduction tables of the British. Bowditch was for many years the final authority of all things Navigation. I still have my Dad's Bowditch. Piver foresaw the day when these sleek boats would do 1,000 nautical miles in 24 hours. That record may be set. It is the Holy Grail of trimaran sailing. We sailed out boat to The Bahamas from 64-65. I turned 17 at the end of the voyage. Since then I have owned two Cross 38s, and I built another Piver while in the Army. Kathy and I sailed our Cross 38 from Bellingham, Washington to Nova Scotia. We spent 4 1/2 years enjoying the cruising life.

Considering that the Ultims racing around the Atlantic right now are full foiling rocket ships, Spindrift seems almost quaint by comparison. Thanks for the video!

@@edwardtupper6374 good luck to weaponize a trimaran like that and pretend that is still capable of that speed, weapons are very heavy and wind is not always granted , but you can not equip it with an engine and the fuel as it also would add a lot of weight. If you want to be the evil mastermind that takes over the world in a not conventional way I strongly suggest you other ways, maybe steal some of those nuclear powered autonomous torpedoes that the Russians are building, they can be equipped with powerful thermonuclear bombs capable to damage a very large coastal area, instead of trying with something that is so easy to intercept and destroy and once weaponized will be fast as a sitting duck :;

@andreachinaglia5804 2 жыл бұрын

I suspect that there is not a lot to see, some instrumentation, some very basic berths and as basic head and galley, just to allow the crew to sleep, poop and eat and somehow survive. On those extreme racing vessels weight reduction is everything, once you have seen one of them, and there is plenty of videos that show the interior of similar racing boats, you have seen them all, obviously unless you are a racing boats designer, then looking at what the others do is useful to better optimize what you do. Things like hey if I move that instruments panel from here to there I can spare some feet of cables so have a slight weight reduction...
