Superyacht Raven Takes Flight - OnCourse Ep29
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лис 2024
- When the 111ft superyacht ‘Raven’ emerged from her builders Baltic Yachts in Finland, she turned plenty of heads. Built in secret and with giant foiling arms on either side, there was no shortage of comment as to whether this concept would work. Now, with footage of her first trials we have the answer.
And with 100ft in mind, racing solo around the world on an Ultim trimaran is beyond comprehension for most of us. But as the six skippers in the Arkea Ultim Challenge took on their 24,000 mile lap of the planet we have been able to see the extraordinary performance of these incredible machines and their skippers.
We report on this incredible race as Dee Caffari explains what has been going on.
There’s also been plenty of speculation as to when America’s Cup teams would launch their AC75s, the boats that they will use for AC37. Now we know as three teams break cover and consider what this means. The full schedule for the Cup has also been published, it’s going to be busy in Barcelona.
Plus, a double helping of Docktalk.

Dee Caffari is a legend! Good to see her presenting as well as heading up a really cool project.
Dee is amazing ... there's someone who has found what she is meant to be doing in life. You're an inspiration Dee.
Best sailing news magazine there is. Thank you.
I love this interview with Dee Caffari. Her knowledge and passion for sailing clearly shows, i hope it encourages more people to get out there sailing ⛵️ Thanks Dee your amazing.
Always Lovely seeing Dee on the channel
Dee is a legit "boss". I love to hear her comments on all things sailing!
Well done for cramming so much into this episode
A full tour of Raven should be in the works, I don't care about interior just the system setup
Always great thank you
The technology and speed is unreal now. Also, the endurance of the people going around the world whether Jules Verne or solo is incredible as you cannot start making mistakes in the real middle of nowhere.
Dee always has good insights (-8
Exciting. High 20s already.
Good stuff ! Thanks
Well done as always 👍💪!
Be interesting to see how Raven goes in the big waves offshore. Not easy
I was going to comment on this until I saw yours. Baltic is one thing ...
Thank you
What I am interested in... Are the foiling tri's sailing so stable as it seems? I mean it seems the bow is almost not moving up and down. Making the sail more comfortable but a lot more wet when out on deck.
Go Dee... Hey what are the Italians gonna suit up in? I hope they have chrome suits in a chrome boat again.
Amazing!
Take Kristen with you on the JV 😊 give her a helmet ❤ Ash'ent Mariner 🌎 we love your glide ~ ~
I would not call those ultimes "fragile".. i can remember a fastned, not to long ago, where gitana sailed upwind to the channel islands in 40 knots whilst de rest had a hard time getting off the solent... i think everything that goes above 20 knots for longer than just a surf is fragile. And actually if one of these breaks, it is usually a UFO and a sturdy cruising yacht also has a problem if is hits something in a surf (with a bit of speed)
Been watching Raven hitting 20knots in 14-15knot breeze this week .
Banque Populaire is heading for a Brazilian port again for repairs on her centerboard.
Imagine trying to sail a nomral cruising yacht averging 8-10 knots after sailing one of those beasts, it will feel like crawling
🙌🙌🙌
Raven is an interesting but complex yacht and i think a 111 ft non - foiling trimaran might be quicker and more practical. Just my 2 cents.
Ewako sandeq race 🎉
Phileas fogg would be impressed
What some luxury or privat cruising boats should having foils like racing AC. 🙈
Only a play for billionaires new toy!
is it more a an advanced cantering keel ? seems a missed opportunity
Are we talking about up wind at 20k?
For sure. High 20s. faster you go the more upwind you sail ;)
Ah, the ballasted foiler nonsense. Why would anyone copy such a Rube Goldberg concept for a yacht? Doug Lord of Sailing Anarchy notoriety must be beaming with delight!
Enjoyed that but a lot of ads.
So many ad breaks
it is not foiling, it does not have the moment when just the foil is in the water, and it is quiet and smooth, instead it is loaded with sail, all loaded up, noisey!
Tris are fundamentally better than monos.
3:1 better
I thought it was "solo" but I see film with five or six people - and how does one person sail ands still eat and sleep? Not much about the boats, lots of talking... too much in fact!
It is Solo but you can't film and sail at the same time, the clips shown when they are doing stuff were taken before they left. They only film themselves when talking and very short time.
Regarding sleep and eating yes they do all that while the boat is sailing itself. 😊
@@CapriceV6 well said
This new trend of blatantly advertising products as a continuous part of their videos as an astute way of getting around UA-cam advertisements. I wonder when YT will catch onto this a develop a method of cutting it off - The advertisers should be paying dues to UA-cam; NOT the youtuber's channels.
it is ugly
americas cup is no longer sailing
Times change and America's Cup is all about innovation. Who would ever thought you could foil a monohaul 😮. I understand it's not for everyone but there is plenty more sailing action with non foiling boats to enjoy.
Pretty lame how it’s gotten for the filthy rich
There is still plenty of circumnavigation done around the world of different boats with far less budget. These foiling trimaran are massive 100ft and are exciting to watch. 🎉
