Moths Crashing in Super Slow Motion

Filmed at the 2015 McDougall + McConaghy International Moth Australian/World Championships by Hartas Productions. No racing. Just crashing.
Music: Summer Overture - Requiem for a Dream

From 30 knots to zero in half a second. Sounds like the way I ride a jet ski!

[@goatmoriarty]

Ollie - classy work man.

[@HartasProductionsOfficial]

Grant Wakefield Thanks very much!

[@WoodandWater]

Great content. Slow-mo scenes are so long, Lots a really great shots. Too much slow-mo. I really enjoyed the fast parts when I skipped to them. Thanks for the video!

"Super Slow Motion" in the title - "too much slow-mo" 😂

[@aafahey]

Awesome. I want to have a go on one of these.

[@rogersurf4149]

Notice at 3:09 ad 6:31one can see the foil cavitating which launches the whole sudden dive. and again at 4:36.Interesting

[@blexfort]

Hi chaps, what is the soundtrack is it on 1:15? Thanks!

Laborious

[@JenniferBrown-zm8dz]

It’s not the waves it is the foil

[@rogersurf4149]

Sorry I got the times wrong below, should read :-Notice at 3:09 and 3:27 one can see the foil cavitating which launches the whole sudden dive. and again at 4:36.Interesting""

[@Formed123]

i couldnt see. what is one looking for? i just saw the main foil coming out of the water each time before the nose dive.

[@jamesayre308]

From what I know he came Up to a wave causing the wand at the front of the boat to raid the ride hight of the main for and because the increase the boat begin to raid over the wave causing the main foil to leave the water giving the boat no stability and no lift so as soon as it 're entered the water it nose dived as no lift was being generated

[@maninredhelm]

Anyone ever seriously hurt themselves on those pointy spreaders? The first lad wrenches his head and neck away from them at the last second, leaving him with only that little nick. I know there's inherent risk to everything, but maybe a head-height prong pointed at the sailor isn't the best possible design approach on a boat prone to catapulting the sailor forward.

[@Marques_239]

the drama

[@sphericon3]

Wouldn't it be better to shape the hull like a surfboard? At least at the front?

[@jamesayre308]

It would be to flat and bluky to suit the boat the boat is designed for speed so they are as thin and light as possible

[@user-hj2qw9ou9t]

Would have been so much better if there wasn't as much slow-mo

[@edmazur3886]

...need a bigger T-FOIL....

[@austingode]

No trim on the foil? .....

[@justbecause3187]

Yes they do, although it may not be set correctly for the conditions.

[@surferatapollobay1341]

Awesome machines......Hope they had insurance!!!!

Submariner…. “Dive stations….. dive, dive, dive!”

[@tomsolleder4015]

the designers forgot to add a periscope and snorkel :-).....they'll no doubt eventually add a computer to it and the thing will fly itself and you just hang the f on....

[@luckyluke5913]

This video shows that these boats are absolutely useless with even 30 cm waves.....

[@ChadCarney-hu3du]

Try high winds with race sails+people pushing the boats to their limits. Nice try. These boats ignore waves entirely

[@AngusMcIntyre]

@@ChadCarney-hu3du they most certainly do not ignore waves and swell. Most of the nosedives here are due to waves. The scenario is this: bow arrives over waves, magic wand makes contact and begins to push in. Main foil elevator angles upwards to generate lift. Bow clears wave and magic wand attempts to the lower the boat. Unfortunately the boat is going so fast that the altitude cannot decrease fast enough. Foil breaches and sailor gains a bruise or 3. The solution is usually to tune the wand for lower ride height. This gives you more altitude to play with but you risk hitting the swell/tripping a wing. Waves are generally considered anathema for foilers. Qualifications: I windfoil regularly in coastal water and converse with world class moth sailors and designers.

Ооооооо Серьезно!!
