SAIL PLANET

01 Haziran 2023 admin SAILPLANET 0

This week we're talking speed - A new beast of a design for Ferrari who have their eye set on ocean records, a new milestone for the SP80 campaign as they work towards setting a new outright speed sailing record and a record crossing of the Atlantic as Tschuss II wins the NYYC/RORC Transatlantic race
Ferrari has revealed a radical and stunning 32m offshore monohull aimed at setting new ocean records and raising the speed bar, while the French/Swiss based speed campaign SP80 have declared a new milestone in their campaign to set a new outright sailing speed record. And if this wasn't enough speed talk for the week, Christian Zugel's Tschüss II won the New York Yacht Club / Royal Ocean Racing Club's Transatlantic Race and hacked 30 hours of the previous IRC corrected time record.
So, this week it's all about pulse raising pace as Matt Sheahan considers the latest news from these three very different groups of speed freaks.
Plus, more in Docktalk with autonomous marks and advance load monitoring systems under the spotlight.

How do you get to grips with one 91m mast let alone two?! PlanetSail's Matt Sheahan finds out. Here's a teaser of the full feature in which Matt talks to the captain of the world's biggest sailing ketch
How do you get to grips with one 91m mast let alone two?! PlanetSail's Matt Sheahan finds out. Here's a teaser of the full feature in which Matt talks to the captain of the world's biggest sailing ketch
There was a time when a 32m (100ft) yacht was a superyacht. While technically it probably still is, over two decades the bar has been raised much, much higher, as have the masts. The huge growth in rig sizes has been possible thanks to carbon fibre and there are some spectacular examples out there.
At 86m (282ft) long Aquijo is the biggest performance sailing ketch in the world and her Southern Spar carbon masts are a staggering 91m (300ft) tall each! 
And while this makes for quite some spectacle, the even bigger question is how on earth do you step, maintain and handle such huge structures?
PlanetSail went to Auckland to find out.
While we were there we also looked at a fascinating project at the opposite end of the offshore scale and discovered how a re-rig for the Gunboat 66 performance cruising cat Slim transformed the boat's performance and handling and simplified the sail wardrobe too.

The Royal Thames Yacht Club's 250th Anniversary was a spectacular affair. With over 250 boats from the latest carbon flyers to beautiful classics that were more than a century old, the four day regatta to celebrate one of the oldest clubs in the world had ticked many of the boxes even before the fleet had turned up. 
PlanetSail was there in the thick of the action, afloat, on board and picking up the chatter ashore.
Here's a little teaser of what's in store in our feature
In the lead up to the Royal Thames Yacht Club's 250th Anniversary there was more than a hint that the Solent based regatta was going to be a big one. With over 250 boats from the latest carbon flyers to beautiful classics that were more than a century old, the four day regatta to celebrate one of the oldest clubs in the world had ticked many of the boxes even before the fleet had turned up. Add to this the focus on the some of the teams and their boats that will take part in the return of the Royal Ocean racing Club's Admiral's Cup later this season and there was plenty to draw attention.
Then, the weather turned up and lit the blue touch paper for what was to turn out to be a stunning few days of racing.

A record 12 teams turned up in New York for the 6th event in the SailGP calendar, but the breeze was slow to the party. For most teams the tricky conditions made this a roller coaster ride though the points board. 
The full PlanetSail review is now live online, here's a snippet of the action
The good news was that SailGP was back up and running after having to pause proceedings and cancel an entire event following the dramatic dismasting of the Australian boat in San Francisco. More good news was that the full complement of 12 boats was ready and raring to go. 
But the weather had other ideas. 
Light, tricky and patchy conditions made the racing pretty stressful for everyone and resulted in some erratic results across the fleet. Overall you'd be tempted to call it a lottery, but a handful of teams were delivering sufficiently consistent performances to leave us all guessing as to whether it was tactics or timing that delivered the final result.
Matt Sheahan reviews the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix and takes a look at the fleet standings at the mid point of the season.
It's a little known fact that masts makers Southern Spars built one of the Kiwi America's Cup winning boats. Emirates Team New Zealand mechanical engineer Martin McElwee explains which boat brought the Cup to NZ and how the lessons learned in the production of America's Cup masts  at Southern Spars flowed both ways and even into boat building.
Southern Spars founder and managing director Mark Hauser explains the link between the America's Cup and Southern Spars
They build some of the biggest and fastest carbon masts in the world - PlanetSail gets inside Southern Spars to see how they do it
The incredible growth in the size of superyachts and the rapid increase in speeds aboard the world’s fastest machines has been staggering. And while modern design and materials have played a huge part in these areas, there is one element that has been crucial to these giant leaps and made it all possible - the rig.
In particular, carbon rigs, without these the sport would still be pressed up underneath the glass ceiling that trapped development back in the 1980s.
New Zealand based Southern Spars have built many of the biggest and quickest carbon rigs in the world and their success isn’t just with boats, they’ve been involved in all kinds of areas ashore and even regular forays into space!
With such an impressive roll call of results it was clearly time to make a visit to Auckland where Matt Sheahan got the full tour. In the first of our two part mini series, Matt finds out why carbon was the key and how Southern Spars build the big rigs, the fastest rigs and rigs of the future.

Watch enough America's Cups and even though the new cycle for the 38th Cup hasn't started, experienced Cup followers will have been waiting for the first bust up....and now it's here.
With teams threatening to walk away, tough talk and sharp press releases, there's no doubt we're into the negotiation phase and contrary to the last round it's not all sweetness and light. 
Matt Sheahan looks at what has been going on and explains what it might mean and where the Cup could be heading.
Plus, we take a look at what changes could be afoot as the Defenders release a yet to be agreed draft protocol for the next event. Not everyone's going to like it.
The 38th America’s Cup will be held in Naples in the Spring-Summer 2027.
Matt Sheahan considers the news, reflects on Naples’ previous Cup experience before then taking a look back at the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona and how the event played out.
The new Magic Carpet- promises to be a slippery machine on the race course. yet unlike many of those she'll be up against this new Maxi has an impressive interior designed for cruising along with a power system that is at the leading edge of design. Matt Sheahan gets the exclusive tour below decks
Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones’ latest launch Magic Carpet-e is a sleek modern Maxi that on the outside has plenty of IMOCA about her. The hopes are that on the race course she’ll be pretty slippery too. But this Maxi is about more than that.
When it comes to her systems below decks this is the most advanced 100footer to be launched for many years, a proof of technology that may well influence a generation of racers and cruisers to come.
PlanetSail gets an exclusive, deep dive tour to look at the sophisticated systems that power this innovative Maxi. We also get to see her stunning accommodation, which has its own story to tell about how good looks and comfort play a big part in maximising the performance of this weapon of a machine.
In Part 3 three of our Inside the Modern Maxi series Matt Sheahan gets the full tour below decks.

In the second part of our exclusive three part series, Matt Sheahan gets aboard, goes sailing and takes the wheel to experience at first hand what this new rocket ship is like and talks to owner Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, skipper Danny Gallichan and project manager Ed Bell about how this sophisticated and slippery Maxi works in practice.
The complexity of any modern maxi is staggering, but Magic Carpet-e takes the technology onto another level. Designed to be the fastest 100 footer in the Mediterranean, not only is the latest Maxi to be launched designed to be the most powerful 100 footer on the start line, but her sophistication both on deck and below takes performance yacht design into new territory.

The initial goal was clear,  to be the fastest Maxi in the Mediterranean but with her fully electric systems that power everything from winches, hydraulics and propulsion, Magic Carpet-e is the most advanced 100ft Maxi to be launched. PlanetSail's Matt Sheahan got aboard to see the detail and get his hands on this extraordinary machine under sail
Some describe the new Magic Carpet-e as the most advanced Maxi to be built in more than a decade, others say that she will change not just the Maxi racing scene, but the use of electric power on board a yacht. And some simply point to a 100 footer that is a staggering 10 tonnes lighter than the previous Magic Carpet and is set to be a light weather weapon.
There. is no doubt that she's a complex machine. 
She has a canting keel with  nine and half  tonne bulb that also acts like a centreboard. She has a retractable canard...that can change its angle of attack and also cants from side to side, plus she has twin lifting rudders.
Her 46m carbon mast supports a giant sail plan that looks like a scaled up IMOC…..and yet there are just six winches on deck.
But the biggest difference between this boat and the rest of the Maxi fleet is that Magic Carpet-e is fully electric.
All the eveindence we needed to know that we had to go and see her for real.
Matt Sheahan and videographer Richard Langdon were invited aboard Magic Carpet-e for a couple of days in her home port of St Tropez. 
In the first of three reports Matt speaks to owner Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, skipper Danny Gallichan and project manager Ed Bell about the concept behind this sophisticated and slippery Maxi.

What is going on at the sharp end of the sport? 
The Kiwis have just lost one of their biggest assets as three time America’s Cup winning helmsman Pete Burling leaves Emirates Team New Zealand in a move that seemed to catch even the team by surprise.
The spat between Sir Ben Ainslie and Sir Jim Radcliffe looks set to be a full scale divorce. 
And SailGP is forced to cancel an entire event after structural problems are found in some of the wingsails. 
It’s tough at the top, Matt Sheahan looks behind the headlines to consider what is going on and why.
Meanwhile, on the west coast of France 18 teams prepare to race 4,000 miles double handed in 32ft boats in one of the shorthanded classic ocean races. Matt talks to one of the youngest teams in the event, British pair Ellie Driver and Ollie Hill about what’s in store for their Atlantic Challenge and why its such an important race.

Auckland has a long history of hosting the Whitbread/Volvo and now Ocean Race. And after a break the famous stopover is back on the calendar. Race chairman Richard Brisius explains to Matt Sheahan why its a big deal
Matt Sheahan gets aboard 'Big Red' the most famous offshore boat in the history of the Whitbread/Volvo/Ocean Race and heads below decks to see what life was like then and what Steinlager 2 looks like today
Hot foot from completing the Vendee Globe, solo sailor Conrad Colman talks to Matt Sheahan about his plans for a new Kiwi team for the next Ocean Race
Thirty five years ago 'Big Red' dominated the biggest offshore race in the world by winning every leg of the Whitbread Round the World Race. It was a phenomenal performance by a Kiwi team led by Sir Peter Blake which not only reaffirmed New Zealand's sailing prowess, but laid one of the key foundations for making Auckland one of the most famous venues in the world for major sailing events. The success also went on to provide a connection with the America's Cup as well as helping to build a huge and successful marine industry down under. 
Winning the Whitbread was big at the time, but the repercussions over the years that followed were huge.
Today, Steinlager II, locally known as 'Big Red' is still a big and active part of New Zealand's sailing heritage and is a regular sight on the Hauraki Gulf. It was also the platform on which Kiwi round the world sailor Conrad Colman announced his NZ entry for the next Ocean Race shortly after the new that the next race would include an Auckland stopover.
It was, in short, a big week downunder and Matt Sheahan was there. Aside from having a snoop below decks aboard Steinlager II, he talked to Conrad and his team's co founder Rowan Gyde about the new campaign. He talked to Evelien van Vliet about the Trust that runs 'Big Red' and discussed the news with one of New Zealand's best known and longest serving sailing journalists, Martin Tasker where he  explained what it means for NZ and The Ocean Race, along with highlighting the importance of the invincible big red maxi.
Auckland is out of the running to host the next America's Cup. Despite winning the event five times the Kiwis have only managed to host it on three occasions and only twice have they been able to invite an international audience thanks to the global pandemic. Little surprise that the locals are very upset that once again they are unable to reap the rewards of an impressive performance by the home team that has made them the second most successful of all time.
Matt Sheahan considers why the Auckland plan has come to nothing  and where the Cup might be hosted in 2027.
Plus, other Cup news, gossip and speculation.
The pace of change is accelerating with every event so far in SailGP Season 5. Just as we start to think we have a handle on where the balance of power is heading there's another shake up.
Yet all the while there's one team in particular that is proving to be consistent as they work their way up through the overall rankings.
Matt Sheahan provides the PlanetSail 10minute review of San Francisco, event 5 of the 2025 season
Just as in motorsport's Formula 1 where this year there are big changes to the previously well established pecking order, SailGP looks like it is going through the same process this season too. Never has the racing been closer and never have the former top dogs been put under such relentless pressure. New teams, new players and a new level of intensity along with the challenges of new technology and an impressive roll call of the world's best sailors means that the 2025 SailGP season is showing signs of being the best to date.

What if you could see the wind in such detail that your path to the top mark was simply a matter of threading the best gusts together? The racing world elite can not only do this in their sleep, but they can identify minute changes in the breeze’ strength and direction even when their head is inside a helmet and their face shielded by a large visor.
At the recent America’s Cup in Barcelona most of us were preparing to struggle with seeing what the top teams would spot on the race course that influenced their tactics……But AC37 changed all that. 
When Emirates Team New Zealand described what they would like spectators to see on the race course, Capgemini set about creating a way to see the invisible, the wind.
Their Windsight IQ technology took wind spotting onto another level as it revealed the invisible advantage in a completely new way for the first time.
Matt Sheahan finds out how it was done.
