Planing hulls on modern sailing boats are designed to be sailed fairly upright so they do not need overhanging bows which is just extra weight. Old displacement non-planing sail boats were designed to heel so the overhangs would increase the waterline length and hence the speed.
The way the boat just takes off after the mark rounding at 5:00. Awesome.
the broach recover was perfect teamwork, great sailors , chapeau!!!
Great footage
that was a lot of fun to watch , thanks
... BALLZ of steel !!! ... no idea how this could earn thumbs down !
Now that's serious downwind sailing!
And serious troubles...
Went up to 16 knots on a J80 but wow! This is way cool

Belissima!

Imprressive!
OMG way cool !
I wonder how a match Melges 24 vs Diam 24 trimaran looks like... :)
Multihulls dont tend to broach
Alan Bingham they pitch pole
I’ll never understand 90 degree Bows on fast sailors! Pure nonsense!
*More buoyancy fwd, pitch poling, more long stability
*Longer waterline, finer entry
*Attachment point for an assym pole stay
