HUGO BOSS set for Fastnet return

[@cliffpz]

Full power!! Fastest monohull record has your name all over it.

[@necron1050]

it a quick boat but the big boys have 40ft on him so it is pretty unlikely (edit) I've just looked up the record and apparently its currently held by a Volvo open 70, so defiantly achievable if the conditions. but then he still has to beat boats like Rambler 88 and Skorpios (which is 125ft i.e. double the size of Hugo Boss) which seams unlikely

[@BellHarrington]

@@necron1050 Hugo Boss broke the record for the fastest 24hrs in the vendeglobe at 536.81 nautical miles so if he can do that again he will totally smash the monohull fastnet record.

[@necron1050]

@@BellHarrington I don't doubt it Hugo Boss is leagues faster than the boat that currently holds the record. the thing is that the larger boat are also ridiculously fast and Skorpios is probably an even faster boat. so Hugo bosses speed record is and average of 22.36kts (which is the single handed record) Commanche averaged 25.75kts for its record (open mono hull 24 hr record) Bigger boats have a real advantage in terms of raw speed and big crew help in getting around difficult conditions i'm not saying that Alex can't break the record what i'm saying is that if the conditions work for him they will probably get someone else there first P.S. have you seen this Skorpios thing its a 125ft super maxi with a retractable foil its mental. it should be considerably faster than even commanche is

[@pieter-jancauwenberghs6522]

Hell yeah, the beast is back 🔥

[@_moffett]

the boat isint going to break because it has nokia on the sail

[@shuttlefish59]

Dont break it this time ;) seriously... good luck we're rooting for you :)

[@SVZonda]

Welcome back, to THE BOSS!! (Did you really ever leave!) I for one cannot wait till August 8th so you can show the sailing world what an awesome TEAM you are!! All the best Richard

[@Mrcovert]

Looking forward to seeing you back

[@surfextrem]

Good to see this boy back ! Wish you happy and successful rides onboard

[@davidtydeman1434]

Here is hoping it is strong enough to finish. Best wishes

BAE systems and Thales can help you with passive sonar and underwater collision detection

[@pratwurschtgulasch6662]

I'm glad to hear that. To be the fastest you have to take every risk, including the boat designers/builders so I don't blame them anymore that the boat broke apart. They could have built a stronger boat but it would have never had a chance at #1. Keep up the good work you guys :)

[@charlesmiller2835]

Good to see She's back, and Alex! Goferit👍👍

[@beta14ok]

Very pleased to see this!! Go get 'em!!

[@allanleach9080]

Let’s hope it’s really windy !!!!

[@westcoaster01]

Like the boat, but my feelings are still with the old Boss. Good luck Alex.........

Magnificent stuff Skip’

[@petermccall3333]

Great to see her back, starting for the next Vendée

[@Ger-ld5mk]

The best boat with the best sailor of the world is ready

[@billw3571]

At last. Now you can finally get back out there and do it. Best to ya.

[@tobyruffles3338]

See you on the start line Alex!

[@miffy8241]

Can somebody provide a link of where we can online bet on this boat breaking or hitting something during the Fastnet?

[@CS_247]

Really?! Always got to be at least one asshole.

Epic, Time to show everyone what she can really do. Great background music. How long before they allow foiling rudders?

[@kjb21161]

I really hope you make a movie for your first place run in the Vendee.

[@derekfawell2853]

Ah, but will he beat the 'Tally Ho!', once restored?

[@Aeradill]

It's going to be tight. Tally is much bigger and therefor much much faster, but as you can imagine, also a lot heavier! Now I've not really done the mafs here but it seems to balance out quite nicely. interesting fight

[@mini696]

I heard Leo is foiling Tally Ho next video.

[@derekfawell2853]

@@Aeradill Forgive my ignorance, but I'm assuming we're talking about the same 'Tally Ho!', i.e. the one Leo is restoring on the West Coast, USA.

[@JoshuaRPearce_]

Yes come on Alex!

[@ignasst]

Anyone knows what where the conclusions regarding the structural damage inside the bow? Why that happened and did they do a full rebuild? - I haven't seen any coverage about that after the return.

[@josedacunhafilho]

Same here

[@samdc5320]

Isn't the boat for sale? (4,5m for everyone who is interested) I hope you keep pushing the limits of sailing a little longer!!!
