The MOST ADVANCED foiling catamaran + FULL sailboat tour | F50 SailGP

[@victorreise5000]

Can’t beleive it took 3 years of Sailgp to get a proper technical tour of the boat ! Great video, great content!

[@canadasailgpteam]

Hey Victor, We're glad you liked our video :) more to come

[@ohwell2790]

No need to show the competitors what you have.

[@victorreise5000]

@@ohwell2790 they all have the exact same boat!

"This video could be quite boring and super technical"... sounds right up my street 😉

[@james5553]

Electronics here are f1 spec. A lot of cosworth involvement as well - I had no.idea they did systems for toilets !

[@saltyrope121]

Final a great technical video without the normal media bs. Thanks Phil and Canada team

[@tom6105]

This is by far the best SailGP video ever! Super interesting!

[@notthatkenny]

What a great tour of the F50 and all of its tech. Great job of keeping it light and very informative. Big thanks Phil and everyone involved in putting this together (and about time).

[@rcpmac]

When I first watched Phil racing he seemed quite the rogue cowboy and not really a team player. He Seems to have evolved and shown his talent and abilities to both organize/train his crew and be an honest competitor. I now enjoy watching him compete.

[@jayminor9757]

I am a helicopter maintenance engineer and sailor so the highly technical side is super interesting and understandable to me. Thanks for the great walk around and clear explanations.

[@canadasailgpteam]

You're welcome 🫡

[@jurgenhinz6320]

I´m an enthusiastic wingfoiler and through Luna Rossa and Robins Round 24 finally ended up sneaking into SailGP - thanks a lot for your tour, now I´ve got a clear view where the technology differences are between AC 75 and your class !

[@12JamesHunt]

"These go to 11." Great video!

[@JoshuaLeungAligorith]

Finally, the detailed tech walkthrough of all the buttons and controls that we've all been waiting for! Great video and nicely presented! Was surprised to hear how much more the sailing workload is distributed among all the team on these boats, compared to what's generally floating around about the AC boats - was especially surprised hearing what the grinders get up to, and how the flight controller has so many of controls to deal with. Would love to see a bit more about what's displayed on the various screens (e.g. those big ones on the wings, and the smaller ones too) Once again, thanks for the great vid!

[@simonfarrow5873]

Thanks Phil and Canada Sail GP. Very cool look at these boats

[@hpel1649]

Mann what an impressive piece of boat, I would love to see how the wings systems and screen works.

[@canadasailgpteam]

It's a matter of time, but we'll surely make some great content about the wing and all the systems ;)

[@DavidCutler]

Excellent info and attitude! But now we need to figure out how to work "Foily Woilys" into our racing sea chanty...

[@slidey1000]

I've been helping make the rams for these boats since the f50 inception. First time seeing any of the implementation. Cheers👍

[@petemiller519]

Excellent video! Amazing how technical and complex is the design of these boats. I never knew the full involvement of the crew to be to this extent. Thank-you for shedding light on these amazing boats.

[@Chris.Davies]

I had not considered the horizontal body of the boat could potentially be used to generate lift, or provide downforce. But there is no free lunch with a wing! With Lift comes Drag, and the Glide Ratio results from them. Glide Ratio is often referred to as L/D. And so it seems abundantly clear to me the clyzar fairings are to reduce parasitic drag, and I'd be prepared to wager a dollar or two that the distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge is the same both top and bottom - and thus no Bernoulli lift results if the boat is horizontal. But as you hinted, you can adjust the angle of the whole boat and nose down will result in a downforce, while nose up will produce mechanical lift. It's easy to see how a pilot can potentially work this into a sailing regimen to obtain a tiny advantage in certain situations. And as we have seen, the racing can be crazily close at times. It's my prediction the next great innovation in foiling will be the super-cavitating foil, which will ride in a pocket of compressed air so that the entire surface of the foil is not in contact with the water. As human power is the only source other than wind, I envisage a brief "turbo mode" where stored air is released from the leading edge to reduce drag to almost nothing through the water. The Russian rocket-powered super-cavitating torpedo Shkval (VA-111) is known to have achieved 370km/h underwater using the technology. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VA-111_Shkval

[@JerrySonnenberg-f2y]

Thanks Phil for a quick walk through of the Canadian F50 Catamaran. Felt like I was back in Flight school but this time learning about how your team flies the F50.

[@JenniferHall-ht3xr]

SO COOL - thanks for the tour, Phil! Great edit... this team rocks!

[@canadasailgpteam]

GOOOOO 🇨🇦

[@josefmachac9820]

Great video, I love it. It would be great if you could create such a technical video pointing out changes in the system over the past seasons and what is planned for the future.

[@BryanBowser]

Amazing refinement of technologies! I was suprised to learn the the windward rudder stabilizer is used to pull the windward hull down by as much as 1000 kilograms.

[@jezza_wut]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. Enjoyed every second ❤❤❤

[@canadasailgpteam]

We're glad you enjoyed it 😃

[@greghill67]

Great tour. What an amazing boat.

[@charlesblithfield6182]

Super cool. I am impressed with the level of integration of technologies.

[@garye4145]

Love the walk through of this cat. She is definitely built for speed and must be both exhilarating and frustrating to drive!

[@canadasailgpteam]

You're right :) she's a beast!

[@MADHIKER777]

Great video showing the technology of these planes, I mean boats, LOL. I'm an old school sailor (and I'm old) and see these as a different animal than a traditional boat. Different tools for different purposes. Facinating tour!

[@jenserikhoverby]

Brilliant presentation, big thank you!!!!

[@dancampbell8149]

Thank you, best tour and explanation of the F50!!!

[@canadasailgpteam]

Great to read Dan, thank you so much for the feedback

[@normandbisson6767]

How complicated it must be !? Takes a lot of coordination from all crew members !! Wow

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

Makes me nostalgic for sailing back in Sea Cadets, what a hoot!

[@evakozma2099]

Imagine a 16th century sailor or ship builder seeing this.🤫

Amazing video! Thank You so much!

[@whitec59]

I had no idea the grinders did so much to keep it flying

Awesome thank you very much. Good job! Good job!

[@rutkumut]

hi, I am looking for the blueprints of the boat, but no success, where can I find the detailed plans of the sail gp boats for an accurate 3d models for 3d printing?

[@bustersean71]

Love that you have a dial that goes to eleven. So spinal tap 😂

[@ianclark8934]

Awesome, thanks for doing this. Good luck!

Great video!

[@Mephistopholies]

A this is spinal tap refference; nice!

[@humorousfool215]

This is great! One question I've always had about these boats is why there are only 2 grinders. The AC50s these were based off of had 4 cyclors powering them. What changed? Do batteries now power more systems or are they simply more efficient?

[@hpel1649]

You are correct, the batteries power most systems on board and the hydraulic pump are able to generate all the pressure needed for all the systems and the grinders are now powering the main winch where the wing sheet goes. Basically, the grinders are now sheeting in and the wing trimmer will only ease the sheet of the wing :)

[@terrygalvin9653]

So the hydraulic pressure isn’t increased by humans during a race? There’s enough battery power to run the hydraulic pump?

[@hpel1649]

@@terrygalvin9653 Correct, the battery life is around 4 hours, but they can change the battery on the water in about 3 min if needed.

[@i_dont_know_anymore223]

Now for a vid on the hydrodynamics and aerodynamics of the boat

[@ChainsawFPV]

Can someone please explain why 1 of the foils is always up unless its turning? I can not find an answer anywhere. Thank you in advance.

[@thedoctor907]

two reasons, one the weight of the flown hull is to counter the force from the wing for righting moment. Two, the drag of having two boards down is significant adding that when both boards are down you almost need to have neutral to negative lift from the windward side foil so really its only producing drag. In a maneuver you are really trying to somewhat gracefully transfer all the lifting loads to the new foil as fast as you can to pull the old board that would just be producing drag back out of the water. In these boats the less wetted surface the faster you go.

[@ndrsln]

I was watching the races and looks like yae the just pull the ropes move the wins sounds like fun Oh no they have computers and hydrologic. Amazing!

[@just2share]

Nice 0:16

[@Peachcreekmedia]

This makes a J20 look like a bathtub toy!

why are there so many buttons for the same job?

[@skyfeels8297]

Is it very hard to sail in a sailboat with this much technology?

[@fire304]

It goes to eleven...

That Guy doesn't sound Canadian, My Guess is He's Australian or New Zealand

[@canadasailgpteam]

Phil is a kiwi / adopted Canadian

[@Antipodean33]

sailing has become so technical now, you need a degree in aeronautics to sail

[@powerlooper9121]

The most advanced? All these cat designs are flawed. Once they ventilate a foil, it is like stabbing a stiletto into a brick wall. Simply foolish to fly these hulls. Look to your sea plane pontoons for guidance.... those are designed not to pitchpole.... which is the opposite of a displacement hull cat with a "wave-piercing bow." I cannot believe that it has been years, and these designers STILL haven't figured it out. At least the new monohull foil designers are figuring out. And this is obviously apparent if you compare the early monohull shapes to the latest.

[@junuhunuproductions]

He's saying "I guess" so much haha, makes it less believable that he is sure of the details 😮

[@declan8649]

Will SailGP make the data available to registered 3rd party data scientists?

Controlling a boat just sitting and pressing some buttons??? Really??? Where Is the fun?
