I’m grinning ear to ear. I did it all for over 55 seasons until my health stopped me. Now I watch and compare the twelve meters I was around in the 1970’s to the new AC-75. I remember when the record for the pond was held by the schooner Atlantic. Sailing is one of the highest applications of the human mind in unproductive activity. I love it dearly. But, alas all our names are writ in water.

Well done video. Thanks.

God i love this race

This is a well produced, well researched, and very interesting show, which seems much better put together than the offerings by Volvo Ocean Race itself. The cost of fielding these boats has been a major impediment to more participation in the race, I think, and the attempt at making the fleet uniform has been a big part of trying to reduce the cost of sponsoring a team.

Thanks for your feedback and glad you liked it, we enjoyed visiting the yard and seeing the detail that goes into these boats. This is a unique class as no one else can claim such precise one designs at this scale - an impressive achievement.

why is the sailing footage limited to water splashing over the deck?

now they can do the rebuild again

0:39. What happened to that hull?

I thought it was gonna be about rebuilding it this time... :(

What generates all this money.....the costs seem crazy how do they make money

Sponsors pay for everything!

The bow of the 65 is disaster it digs in.

Thomas D Harrell No it doesn't.

I would like to know why all workers and sailors are from UK if Mapfre is from Spain? XD

Cos we're the best.

I like the idea of sailing along sometimes at great speed but racing would leave no time for drinking, eating and grabbing my girlfriend. I prefer French golf.
