The runs at Defi Azimut 2023 - Full sequence

[@jamesaron1967]

Astounding footage! Breathtaking!

[@alexandermenck6609]

0:33 Charal looks like full foiling even the stern out of the water? Great balance!

[@robertharris7027]

13:49 That is unbelievable...

[@jamesaron1967]

You want to know why? It has an 'X-rudder' orientation like *no other* IMOCA 60. Bureau Vallée tested a T-foil rudder several years back and the transformation was dramatic. Completely stable by comparison to a standard rudder availed by additional lift at the rear. Something that is sorely missing from IMOCA foiling. The problem is it's illegal under current racing rules for the IMOCA class. Charal wanted the rear lift for extra speed and stability of a T-foil rudder without infringing the rules, so they angled the two rudders outwards to act as makeshift foils in ideal foiling conditions. By angling the rudders, they induce lift and the rear flies instead of the characteristic dragging and slamming. Much more comfortable and of course faster. Expect to see more rudder systems like this if it won't be banned outright. Ingenious workaround of a regulation.

That's crossed rudders for ya

​@@jamesaron1967là ils font un bon Run, mais le système n'est pas au point pour plus de vent. Il cabre

Superbe vidéo bravo

[@mcslashvideos]

Sound would be cool . . .

[@Gilles_Martin_Raget]

If you know a micro that can capture anything usable with 60 km of lateral wind and take a shower of salt water every 30 seconds, maybe...

[@limosalimosa]

Amazing... not that much wind either...

[@BellHarrington]

great footage, but please can we have sound also next time

[@alinmardare1684]

[@dr.stefanschulze-minde9631]

…and the animals? Whales? Dolphins? Turtles?…when touched they are cutted in pieces! Is that still SAILING…???🤔😔

[@marcelsenstiuis6512]

Exactly: sound is missing, MarcelluX SenStiuS

[@pouetepremier5793]

et a la fin c'est presque toujours Charlie qui presque gagne

[@Coleen_West]

What is this nonsense. This is getting silly. NEW RULE: Sailboats must keep their hull in the water at all times during a race. This is not sailing. It is some form of parasailing and is a perversion of sailing. It also harms sailboat design, endangers animals (They killed sixteen whales during their last race, and dozens of sea turtles) Should be banned.

[@Coleen_West]

@@Bercilakdehautdesert ...look, at some point this is not actually sailing and we need to make clear rules about what is, and what is not, a sailboat. Aside from the danger and harm to countless animals that these boat things get in the way of, it is also a perversion of sailing. It is like those so-called, land speed records where they put a rocket on the back of a sled that has wings to keep part of it touching the ground. That is not a car anymore than a flying craft with a blade in the water, is a a sailboat.

[@Coleen_West]

@@Bercilakdehautdesert ..just google it. There are several articles and then add them up and you will get that number. But it requires some research as different countries have made different analysis of the various dead whales from these boat strikes.

[@Spyker8921]

It's a boat with sails, powered by the wind.

[@Coleen_West]

@@Spyker8921 ...you are just being silly now. If you seriously don't understand the issue then what is the point in discussing this?

[@francoisguilbault3282]

Well, i'm practising windfoil and i my feeling IS that it's totally different from funboard. Once you have tasted the adrénaline of flying, you just Ask for more. Being 1m on top of the sea may seem not natural, but if IS crazy Amazing. I assume it IS somehow similar for these imoca. It's a different way of sailing.
