Thank you for your question; I suggest contacting Gualtiero with this question. Look for his store Tegicomica in Venice

Hahaha, you are correct. You know that I met a couple that owns a supermaxi, and as they loved racing and they were older, they hired a designer to create their seats on a gimbal so they could still compete without suffering the race's physical stress.

I don't agree.

I was personally there; the wind knots might not be exact, but it is not misleading information.

@@NAVISmagazine It is, because if you are saying 30 kt and showing something which is most likely 20 kn you have mislead me. Why you are not saying fresh breeze? Than you are out of the discussion of the correct wind speed. I sailed so far more than 60'000 nm including one circumnavigation. I know a little bit what I'm talking about.

@@HansSchulzBalzers@HansSchulzBalzers OK, let's change it to strong wind; this might be a little more accurate. What happens with these types of super sailing yachts is that their size makes everything look smaller and softer. The waves that day were huge, I was on a big Riva, and if I didn't have the camera stabilizer, it would be impossible to shoot this scene. And believe me, the wind was strong. The yacht might be sailing in this scene at over 16 knots, but you can't even feel it in the shot; this is 88 meters, one full street block sailing at full sail downwind.

At least 200 knots

Check for superyacht Black Pearl. The rig is fantastic, this is one of the yachts with most sailing time in comparison with traditional rights which are complex and difficult to manage. Usually, this yacht sails five minutes after leaving the dock, something impossible with a super sailing yacht standard rig. There is one specific reason why not many yachts use this rig: its price.

I was there; we were a few miles out of Sardinia and quite windy. I was shooting from a large RIVA but didn't have a way to measure the wind correctly. Now, the yacht is 88 meters long, and this wind was just a breeze for her.

I believe you that it was windy. Usually once you get to 17-18 kts. wind, you start to see noticeable whitecaps on the water. At 25 kts. in most cases there are plenty of whitecaps. 30 kts. isn't a gale or anything, but it's a pretty significant breeze and you would really see plenty of whitecaps. That said, it's definitely a nice tape.'

Whitecaps show up well under 30 kts. I think.

_YEAH, heeling and luffing??_

Hahaha, you can't believe how the helm station of this yacht is. Imagine that the masts are all carbon fiber built by Magma Structures in the UK. In between the carbon, you have fiberoptic receptors every two or three meters, which report the pressure happening in each of the three masts to the helm station; the captain knows in real time what is happening in each area of each mast in real time. Then, the captain can select one or more masts and, with a futuristic small wheel, can turn the mast through a masterpiece of engineering created by Fabio Perini located at the foot of the mast. It is an unbelievable yacht to sail.

@@NAVISmagazine _WOW!_

@@dancarter482@dancarter482 if you or any other reader would like to know more about this yacht, we published an editorial about her back in 2012 (sorry, it is old but still has useful information). NAVIS magazine was the first media allowed to show her interiors and helm station. Here you can find some info: www.navisyachts.com/201212061128/navis-october-/-november-2012/perini-navi-presents-the-incredible-88-maltese-falcon.html If you like this type of yachts, please feel free to subscribe. The printed edition is a little expensive, but the digital edition is quite accessible to anyone here: store.navisyachts.com.

Agreed

Thanks for the comment. It is indeed difficult to see these type of yachts sailing on open waters in actual sailing conditions.

It is simply unbelievable.

Sailing is wet and cold. You need a lot of Zen on longer trips.

Why miss it? What prevents you from doing it?

Want t9 by a car??

The audio track was composed by the NAVIS team.

You're right, this needs to be fixed.

It depends from what you expect from a boat.

Yes, it was probably more 13 than 30. Especially as the Maltese Falcon has all her sails up, with 30 knots they should have half the sails.

@@NAVISmagazine Maybe you could fix the title?

More like it 😂😂

At the top of her colossal masts the wind could well be up at 30kts

Yeah. That with the sails keep back winding…. Something is going on here that’s not right.

Agreed

Guess you're looking at a tiny phone screen because on my 32" monitor I can clearly see the white caps...

Who knows, both of them are at the top of the list of the most active shipyards. Ahhh, Italian Design!

@@NAVISmagazine Someday.....soon

I wasn't on the boat when this was filmed, but as far as I know, it was an old professional DGI.

Thank you for your message, we appreciate your opinion.

Practice and experience academic keeling. You should sail 45 knots of boat speed as a normal standard in 30 knots of wind. Geometry plus 15 degrees.

Wow, guys thank you for our comments; it looks like you really know what you are talking about.

Thank you.

Hahahaha

😄
