World Sailing Show - December 2019

Four of the world’s fastest oceanic boats take on a brand new race around the Atlantic. But will all the boats survive? We have the race covered. There’s also the latest footage of Italy’s Luna Rossa America’s Cup team foiling their AC75 in the Mediterranean. The longest and toughest double-handed transatlantic race is the Transat Jacques Vabre we bring you all race action. World Sailing have announced the new windsurf class for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games - see it in action. The 20 year dominance in the Wave discipline ended in Maui at the last PWA World Cup event. There’s action from Hawaii as we reveal the new world champion. Francis Joyon breaks the first of four world records on his IDEC Asian Tour and the winners of the annual World Sailing Awards.

The fact that we get this show for free stays amazing every time I watch it, they don't even seem to monetize this channel... Thanks World Sailing Show!

[@davidbayles6494]

Quite amazing stuff, really! As with all technology in moving on to another decade, the advancements and achievements are fantastic. As a young sailor in the '80s, I could never have envisioned sailing, no, flying across the water at over 50 knots. I'm so impressed every time I watch this compilation of major sailing events across the world and am immediately in search of more gratification, scouring the net for more videos, as my sailing days are long gone. Great stuff! The offer of longer productions in the documentary style and length, offering more time on-board and at sea, would be fantastic and greatly appreciated by all! Thank you!

[@VonBluesman]

Amazing craftsmanship and sailing skills. Videos such as this is what helps make the internet a wonderful phenomenal thing.

[@GregCantori]

Really enjoyed this edition - the speed grit and technology is incredible

[@rhyshaydon8687]

I really enjoy your show! Look forward to your posting it every month, keep up the great work.

[@PeteSilveira]

I really that this videos were weekly but being monthly makes me want them more. Keep up the amazing work guys. Fair winds from Portugal

[@alexcooke9805]

Started sailing in 1968, love this show! Been loving the water ever since. I'm a professional boat captain since 1980. But I love racing sailboats.technology-wise back in the late 60s early 70s there was no such thing as harken blocks wasn't invented yet.

[@richardsidoli1755]

the mini transat is probably one off the greatest race one can imagine. Small boats, small budjets, hard single handed transat. I would realy enjoy hearing about it on your show. maybe you did and i missed it! Any way thank you and by from Port louis.

[@Titiaran]

thank you for this monthly quality content!

[@Bearmauls]

So glad I found this channel

[@MrTrimariner]

Super quality show, best seen on big screen, fantastic work world sailing !

[@lukasoc1518]

Epic scenes of that first race!! Wow

[@TheBruceTR]

Kudos to the video editing team! Nice job... allowing each snippet to last for a few seconds (instead of a fraction of a second). I was able to "see" the boats, and the water and wind conditions. Keep up the good work.

[@ohwell2790]

Notice how everything is epic. Epic,boat,people, crossing, epic wind it is all epic, OK one more time, epic.

[@sailinguncovered]

Not sure the word epic is mentioned at any point in the script but the pics are indeed epic!

[@freequest]

Yeah there really pushing the Epic Store arent they.

french sailors are the most badass people in the sailing world.

[@Splash0921]

From lateens and square riggers to Maxi’s and AC75’s, the giant leaps in current wind power technology is truly mind boggling. Hoping this caldron of racing will some day bring about practical solutions for zero carbon marine transportation of people and products. Great video and love your channel!

Shipping containers need to be recovered or made to sink automaticly . Built in gps transponder, doable.

Hope it was only a container!

[@hymanocohann2698]

@@davidh7613 me to, whales are a possibility but the likely and most easily avoided (if the shippers were to be responcable)

[@seandelaney1700]

I'd just assume they not litter the surface OR the floor. Not to mention the extreme expense. Seems like the obvious solution is to engineer one, ie secure the containers better or stop overloading.

[@louiscypher4186]

@@seandelaney1700 can't really secure the containers any better, it's a design limitation. it would cost Billions to redesign containers and modify ships that carry them. Stopping overloading whilst far more practical probably wont have enough support politically as it would increase shipping costs.

[@seandelaney1700]

@@louiscypher4186 Sounds like a design limitation, or rather the designers did not forsee overloading would become the norm. Few people are aware of how wide spread this is, nor is it documented. First we need awareness, then we need to act. So far it would appear that in a myriad of ways the oceans are given short shrift, thus their current poor health.

[@mako2350]

I served in US Navy as a Naval Aircrewman and some of those sea states like this in a small boat like that I might even barf, and Im not a barfer..... na Im good... That's nutts!!!!!!!!!

[@titouan3702]

I am sorry guys but when I am looking America's cup or sail gp that just like when I am looking karting, spectacular but not as difficult than le vendée globe, that's why I am so proud to be french: when I am looking french sailors I see all the difficult of sailing.

[@dbm52]

"we hit something" -that whispers in the wind little secret...... sail-whale collisions

[@tincoffin]

Bit worrying . I wonder if they could put out an electronic bleep to warn them...

[@barendschipper]

@@tincoffin Or a small sonar to see if a container or whale is in front let's say 100 meters ahead. I think it is possible. To kill or wound a whale is not a small thing, but also for the boat and its crew: it's new the velocity: a SMALL sonar could well be a sound solution. Non damaging sonar -whales use their click 'sonar' and have strong sensitive hearing which can be damaged, which means certain death for them.

[@johnscott7313]

Or maybe the ‘Whale’ was a rectangular metal box floating underwater.

[@peterkelly9614]

The Australians and the New Zealanders are the best racing yachtsmen in the world. The French are the best in big multihulls. And solo long distance sailing. But also some fantastic yachtsmen from many countries - USA, Germany, UK - very universal these days and many excellent up and coming women from all over and in big and small boats.

Windsurfing has changed, especially the Wave event it used to be hotly contested in the 90s with crazy double forward loops, sky high back loops, lots of 360, table tops, eagle wings, body twisting moves, heli tacks, spinloops, pushloops, even the carving and surfing was better with guys like Polakow, Dunkerbeck, Naish, Prior, Ordonez, Goya, Teriitehau, Randall, Stone, Baker, Kalama, the Angulo bros, the Pritchard's, Belbeoch, Bringdal, Sieger, etc, etc. PWA was on a all time high... these days I could not name one windsurfer and if you can win the Wave title without winning a single event, that's just plain wrong and it shows the level has dropped drastically. The old guard were full of killers even the young guard back then wanted to win. These days, they want to have fun and as a result they don't push the sport and don't inspire people to windsurf. Windsurf was massive in the 70/80s, it started declining at the end of the 90s when the PWA was at its most competitive. Even crappy indoor events like Bercy were super successful. Today I would not even bother to watch, I like freestyle but there is not enough in it to be a discipline of its own. WAVE was the true big event but where are the true champions? An obscure German dude who can't even win one single event... toh! Kids want to kitesurf, they could not care less about windsurfing sadly. Bring back the old days.

[@johnsimms9067]

The problem with most of these sailing videos is the flashing images, hardly a single shot of more than 2-3 seconds. In consequence one doesn't get a good look at anything!

what about to designan aerodynamic boats system that at that speed only will slide on top of water like ski .......

[@wilbur218]

Seems like there can't be a race nowadays without a boat hitting an UFO. Shipping have to collect their stuff but how ?

[@Platypus_Warrior]

6:15 hitting something in the middle of the ocean to break part of the boat is most likely a whale that is now probably injured.

[@barload]

my thoughts too

[@seandelaney1700]

Shipping container was mine. The one appendage/rudder they showed had damage right at the top, which might be caused by a corner.

[@Platypus_Warrior]

@@seandelaney1700 You have shipping containers drifting in the ocean? That's new. And what do you mean it's yours? They are several people letting their shipping container drift like that? How would you know it was yours? Why a corner and not a side of the container? Saying you have a pet whale would have made more sense :)

[@seandelaney1700]

@@Platypus_Warrior Sorry to be so unclear. "mine" was referring to thoughts as in "my thoughts". Although the image of a pet whale makes me smile. Trade ships often lose containers in storms and many believe they stay neutrally buoyant just beneath the surface. Since the one damage shown was right at the surface it might have been something much smaller like a water logged uh... well, log.

[@Platypus_Warrior]

@@seandelaney1700 Haha cool. Thanks for the reply. OK I didn't such dangerous objects was occasionally floating like that. I guess a radar is a must nowadays

[@jackiefitzpatrick2906]

" A floating object struct the boat and caused damage ". More like...the BOAT struck a whale and killed the whale , causing damage to the boat . Common encounters like this , with foils being fast moving underwater razor blades , ruins my enthusiasm for watching these races . Too many boats over the past years have impaled too many whales during their migrations.

[@ThomCat316]

A lot of the "whales" that get struck are rectangular and made of steel. These also sink cruising boats.
