Those who wait for something good has a lot of patience 😁. Good intro. When a swing keel is stuck, the effects are like you say, keep the waterline optimum, but also the sail area is effected. The more upright the mast is, the more power you get from the sails. Can you please get a bit more info to us on the Jetstream and what effect it has? PLEEEEEEESE! 🙏
Discovered your channel 3 years ago during the last Vendee Globe. (Discovered the race too!) Haven't really watched much in the intervening years, but here you are again, a daily staple in my UA-cam viewing! Thanks!
Another great episode. Thanks for the explanations of the IMOCA keel, the doldrums lore, and the pressure cells around Antarctica. It's fascinating getting a sailors' view of the world and the race.
I'm a Vendee junkie. 12 montha ago I didn't even realise the IMOCA class or this race existed, now I can't get enough. Your channel is super informative and I love your weather analysis. Kerp up the great work!
Really glad to see that growing audiences are finding the sea wolves content. This is abosolutely the best feed there is. And also growing the racing community as a whole! Thank you!
I think Starlink / connectivity has made a hinge difference in realtime video / information from the racing sailors. Makes for great content to add to your daily reports, Florian. I look forward to coming here daily to hear you thoughts.
So interesting! Your explanation of this racing is great. The easy west splitwas very exciting and now im gripped to watch the fleet split into two around the doldrums and enter into the southern ocean. Keep it up!
This will bend your noodle: World record around the world SOLO is just over 42 days!!!! Average speed of 27 knots. Done on a 100 foot fully foiling trimaran.
I have watched the development of this class for over 40 years. I think that with hydrofoils and canting ballast keels they have reached the pinnacle of their development. These are extremely expensive speed machines which will likely not see much use in more ordinary yachting.
Great videos Seawolves! question here, are the foils retractable? and can the sailor change the pitch or angle to the relative water flow? Amazing scenes! Thank you.
My understanding is that they have a watertight "wetbox" around the pivot point of the keel, so the pivot point itself isn't waterproof, but the box around it is.
@@onpahanvaanI agree. Many boats have a keel box where the top of the keel box is well above the waterline. Our family boat put a table on top of the keel box.
You spoke about the keel construction of the boats… I believe the term “lifting the keel up” might be misleading. In my understanding, it is about the inclination of the keel…
The answer is: the boat sails to its APPARENT wind. (Yeah, that's a cope out). From there google is your friend "how can a sailboat sail faster than the windspeed". You'll get tons of info.
I have heard te opposite. They are not trimming when they are shooting a few minutes of video per day but I have heard more than 10 hours a day of trimming
It's a bit anti nature this and a lot of other channels 24 hours a day with videos, live vídeos, see them taking bath, washing their teeth, computers everywhere, a team support 24 hours onshore, I don't care seeing live a fix on the structure hull... Etc.. Four years ago not so much.. Not saying in 89 with Lamazou... Poupon, Isabelle Autessier.. Etc.. I think you're not born yet.. I understand the investment and the sponsorship... But leave them alone... That's the Spirit.. Alone..! A vídeo and some photos once a weak...! I don't care about their complains, state of mind, state of Confusion on constant videos... The spirit, the real thing, it is Completely Alone... And fourty is to much... Like the alpinists to Everest nowadays... They made a queue.. And garbage while waiting for their time to climb or something.. And videos everywhere.. The true spirit gone this is business and merchandise... Come on, Lamazou spend six months in the desert with a tuareg tribe to learn how to be alone in the adversity trough six months.. From the desert to the sea.. I'm not calling sea wolfes... Really seawolfes were the cod fisherman in north Atlantic between groneland, strait Davis, Labrador and through six months campaign in sail boats with lousy conditions and go out fishing in the Dories two or three nautical miles.. With the waves and fog and cold some don't return...! Saint John 's to stop a couple of days.. And earning a misery... Some videos from Alain Villiers are history. This is the race of the Imocca experts, and a japanese one... Behave well on 470 olímpic.. Sympathy for Jean Le Cam, Yannick Bestavan.. The old guys.. And specially Clarisse and Pipa.. And the other ladies , please sorry forgot their names ... The first two got temper, and they love what they are doing, in a man's world.. Regards
The report is for nautical miles which are longer than the miles you are familiar with on the road. One nautical mile is 1.1508 miles. So is 550 nautical miles is 1018.6 kilometres or 632.29 miles. FYI knots is nautical miles per hour.
@@captnkirk6180 The word “mile” might leave you wondering if there's a “nautical kilometer,” too. There's not. The international nautical mile is used throughout the world. The measurement was officially set at exactly 1.852 kilometers in 1929 by what is now known as the International Hydrographic Organization think about !

Looks like YT needed a few minutes omre to process us in 4K :) so we'll be about 10 minutes later then usual wolves :)

I always watch your videos about the Vendée globe. You explain so well and give a very good overview, thank you

Great video! The keel explanation was fantastic for the non-sailing members of my family. Love the raw footage as well!
I love your daily show. You consistenty give the best analysis on the race I have been able to find.

Amazing opening sequence. How beautiful to see the Imoca flying on flat water... the speeds are amazing..
Really glad to see that growing audiences are finding the sea wolves content. This is abosolutely the best feed there is. And also growing the racing community as a whole! Thank you!
Thanks for the really impressive daily report!!
Excellent work! Well put together with interesting and informative content, also entertaining 😊
Nice one. A good mix of reportage and forecasting. What a ride!
Excellent explanations - essential Vendee Globe viewing!
Excellent update, I'm learning heaps about sailing and weather systems following this race and you channel for the first time.
Nice!
Excellent reporting.
What a race so far.
Unbelievable speeds.
Thanks

Thanks again Florian!!

Another great show! Thanks for giving background on these Doldrums!
Do you think you could get will harris from team malitzia to come in as a guest? He did a great job talking about the weather routing last edition.
Having reached around a modest ten knots or so in my sail boat, this speed through the water seems extraordinary
Another great show and well deserved on hitting 30k+🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well explained and a totally enjoyable watch!
Love your Show!
Thank you so much!
30.300!! Well done!!
Once again Florian! Top Coverage
Absolutely awesome foiling 💥
Thanks Florian!
This is so sick, to go around 50 km/h drive by the wind on the atlantis Ozean 😁
This will bend your noodle:
World record around the world SOLO is just over 42 days!!!!
Average speed of 27 knots.
Done on a 100 foot fully foiling trimaran.
Excellent pod.
Brilliant stuff
Great show, thanks. *****

Impressive...........total concentration!!!!! What technologie can do......
Very informative!° Thank You!
Great content! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! Could you share the url of the site where you show the weather in Antartica? Thanks
Yo chief Seawolf ! Isn't 551 nautical miles 1020 kms ? ... and not > 1100 kms ? Just asking ..... 😬 Great show and love your Dutch sense of humour 😂
What is the state of the sargassum weeds this season?
Great videos Seawolves! question here, are the foils retractable? and can the sailor change the pitch or angle to the relative water flow? Amazing scenes! Thank you.
Yes they are retractable, but not completely.
Yes the newer boats can change the pitch angle of the foils.
Wow, this fantastic.
Insane speeds
Isn’t it more combo of foils and flatter hull ?!
Crucial stage it seems!
Florian, what is the weather program you are using? Not the tracker, the other one.
I think your estimate of the average going up by five knots is waaaay too high. But maybe you can make everyone make a guess…
They are hauling ass, impressive speeds and they haven't even hit the big winds yet
They'll likely slow down when they experience higher winds. Right now it's at or near ideal conditions for the foiling IMOCAs.
How are the moving keels sealed where they enter the bottom of the boat. Are they fully watertight?
My understanding is that they have a watertight "wetbox" around the pivot point of the keel, so the pivot point itself isn't waterproof, but the box around it is.
@@onpahanvaanI agree. Many boats have a keel box where the top of the keel box is well above the waterline. Our family boat put a table on top of the keel box.
551 nautical miles= 1020 km
That is a really long way.
You spoke about the keel construction of the boats… I believe the term “lifting the keel up” might be misleading. In my understanding, it is about the inclination of the keel…
I believe you are correct. The term I have heard is “canting” keel” . This technology is used by nearly all modern ocean racers
@@davidtydeman1434 You are right, your English is better than mine 🙂
Are there 2 classes in this race? Foiled and unfoiled?
There is only one class, but not all boats have lifting foils.
Hmmmm, how far west does one go? Be fun to watch.
Can we see how the 6 women are getting on?
Can you explain how the boats can travel faster than wind speed
The answer is: the boat sails to its APPARENT wind. (Yeah, that's a cope out).
From there google is your friend "how can a sailboat sail faster than the windspeed".
You'll get tons of info.
its because of apparent wind
Le Cam needs to head south and stop westing..
vendee skippers don’t seem to spend much time Trimming.
I have heard te opposite. They are not trimming when they are shooting a few minutes of video per day but I have heard more than 10 hours a day of trimming

I REALLY enjoy your analysis but for God sake can you please talk without slurping :)
Sir, your daily reports are too slow/late. I like your way of reporting, but when you came on. It is old news.
Your math is way off. 550 miles is not well north of 1100km, not even close!!!! try 885km
The report is for nautical miles which are longer than the miles you are familiar with on the road. One nautical mile is 1.1508 miles. So is 550 nautical miles is 1018.6 kilometres or 632.29 miles. FYI knots is nautical miles per hour.
calls himself a captain and has no idea about sailing 😉
@@svenkefa4552 It's still only 990 nautical kilometers 🙄 not well north of 1100 as he stated which was the point of the post.
@@davidtydeman1434 okay so it's still 990 nautical kilometers, not well north of 1100 as stated.
