Inside the latest generation IMOCA60 - Malizia

Such a comfortable liveaboard cruiser...

impressive machine. It is quite impressive. But......welcome to sailing becoming a computer driven activity.....they should not allow autopilots on races that are not singlehand or doublehand events. This is becoming less and less a test of sailor skill and more a test of who can best program and design a computer....... ugh

Fantastic tour of this amazing machine! A huge thanks to Will. Best of luck, and we'll see you in Newport!

Wonderful deep dive. I can't imagine how tough it will be to live with the noise and movement in the southern ocean.

Great video -- Will Harris is such a great ambassador for the team and the sport.

I didn’t see anything about food storage/provisions, etc. Did I miss it?

Wow, talk about high tech puts my little 27 footer in perspective. This is a floating computer centre.

Really interesting. I would wish to see this boat in reality. This would be great. And the choice of B&G equipment…. Good, I use only B&G on my boat too and I am very satisfied with it. Good luck for you.

'there is a lot of space back here' lol . Well, maybe in that black cave black humor is kicking in.

After watching just 10 minutes of this, I strongly suggest you buy lots of life insurance, invest in some good body armor, an F-1 helmet, and some good earplugs. You are in for the most gruesome unpleasantness of your life. The ocean is not going so show you or that boat any mercy. Too many electronic devises that can fail, and I'm not sure you can sail that thing without them.

A few gram of light paint for the sail locker room is to much extra weight for the boat? And how about some LEDs for the same room to make it less dangerous for the crew to work their with the sails? Sorry thats idiotic laughable. I generally find it unessesary masochistic to make the boat not somewhat more liveable. Like the constand noise from the boat being build of carbon, one could use noise cancellation technic like many modern headsets have it inbuild as standard. The noise stresslevel goes up quite a bit with continous noise present, that will coast the crew alot of concentration power, and pushes them into making mistakes.

Great video! Much better with Will rather than boring Boris.

Thank you very much for the wonderful tour and explanation.

Cape of good hope - Itajai is just crazy...

What a great article Matt thanks. So much learnt and discovered for me, awesome

In general, if you can do it, your forefinger will be a better controller than your middle finger, if a little harder to put on the screen, since it is slightly shorter. That finger does have a lot more nerves and so it will enable you better touch control.

Excellent look onboard. Non-sailer here but enjoyed the commentary with now new understanding. Saw last year's Vendée race but never predicted such a vessel.....

Great video - thanks!

What ever happened to proper sailing, the early Whitbread sailors must laugh at this technology, they were a lot hardier than the latest breed of yachtie, these yachts might just as well sail around the world crew less and radio controlled,

Great tour - thank you Matt. Awesome tech, but I must say I envisage a fast approaching day when this fly-by-wire racing is going to spawn a break-away class of classic hands-on manual only boats where you can have your AIS and EPRB and the rest is you and your skills versus the elements. I'm not preaching nor converting, but I'd miss not even manning the tiller - that's why i had the sail boat in the first place 😄

One wonders if there will be a move away from play stations back to sailing

Liebes Malizia Team,

ich wünsche mir dieses Video mit deutscher Synchronisation, da mein Englisch leider zu schlecht ist um die Details zu verstehen. Ich bin sicher nicht der einzige😉
Liebe Grüße und viel Erfolg wünscht Matthias Kauf

Habe gerade den Beitrag von Yacht TV entdeckt. Jetzt bin schon schlauer😀

Propaganda boat.

Crazy. It's like a Space Shuttle cockpit. It's probably SAFER in a Space Shuttle..😆Must be an incredible experience to be flying through a heavy sea tho. What a boat!!

Where is the head? No vessel is complete without a convenient head.

I hate to even say this but adding an automated sail plan would allow a major weight savings by eliminating the crew. I hate what that looks like in my imagination.

Very interesting. Will Harris is an exceptional presenter. Thank you Matt!

What a fantastic tour,great entertainment,thank you.

Fascinating how it’s now called an autopilot as compared to auto helm. As if these machines actually fly, I suppose they do !

Awesome 😎

Fiber optic cables measuring load is absolutely awesome technology. Good for them.

great informative video, all i can say is WOW. i want to see her fly

I'd be afraid that one of those foils would rip off, leaving a giant hole in the side of the boat.

It all depends on tablets, camera's and electronics.. what if the power goes down? It takes one wave of water

Boat? It's more akin to an organic lifeform! I imagine when the thing is barrelling along it's like alive,twitching and flexing while racing across the wet stuff. Fantastic watch and impressive tech to boot. A great insightful video. A new subscriber 👍

Amazing video. A true lesson.

Will Harris, leading this tour, deserves an Emmy award for giving such a terrific non stop array of information- explanation. So clear, graceful & never a moment where Will stoups the talk to fit nincompoops...just makes it perfect from start to finish

This dude said uumm, more times than I can count. And umm I can count to ten at least.

Fatigue testing and monitoring is very interesting. I work in a completely different industry that could use this technology. First I heard...

I've been following this race since the beginning, they're all between NZ and S America now, but I just watched this video. This crew are not only world class athletes, but computer engineers! Unbelievable! Go Team Malizia!

To Sail Malizia ist like playing an komplex musik- Instrument. All Team members are so..Dirigent off an Orchester!😊😊

"to be honest it feels like the boats going to explode at any moment"

How this vast amount of electronics is surviving the southern ocean is amazing. The IMOCA 60 class is the Boeing 787 / 777X of the sailing yacht design. The Horn rounding is just ahead on this 40 day leg.⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵

Must be like being a submarine crew! Is the sail change manual with crew on deck or another automated below deck process?

Just found this great video. With the teams just landing in Brazil as hindsight some of the comments are worth a little smile. Especially the one that asks what happens if a foil gets hit. Ask Biotherm.

That’s not a boat. That is a spaceship.

What is the other way to generate electricity other than solar? I didn't understand what he said there.

Thanks Sailing Arcadia

There are a couple of bucks in one of those tubs for sure. If this ship does the whole leg without one glitch or break down, it would be a miracle for sure .

It’s another sport that’s being raced by engineers rather than artful skill. ? Formula 1 has led the way.
It’s not bad or wrong just different. Will open up opportunities for new series of competition that get back to the basics
