After watching a F9R overtake an Open 60, this looks surprisingly slow.
-
I am afraid that the people on the 50 footer could learn a thing or two about sailing as they are too far inclined and getting too much inefficiencies from the centreboard moving at an angle to the line of motion causing a lot of drag not to mention the rudders pulled hard over too far to keep her pointing into the wind. Also they have a lot of twist in the sail, losing drive so it would be obvious to reef down a little and sail at a less inclined angle with less twist in the sail for better drive and they would gain speed. But still the trimaran will beat them as the trimaran is not restricted with the wave resistance drag as a mono hull which in this case is still not planing. If that particular mono hull starts to plane , well the relativity between mono hull and trimaran is a different story.

nice .. wish there were more closeup shots of the instruments so viewers could have an idea what speeds were involved ...
-
et ouais, les multi sont toujours les plus rapides hahaha !
-
Yeah me too hee hee
-
Not surprising that a trimaran overtakes a monohull, but it surprisingly took an eternity for the tri to overtake this mono... Thats a very good Mono!!! Well done Pogo 50
-
The mono is a pogo50 !!! Try to bear away and repeat the challenge: maybe u will lose
-
i want to see more footage of trimarans overtaking mono and cat's.
-
I built and sailed a Jim Brown Searunner 31' in the 1970's. I could beat any boat on the bay except an E Scow.

Since you wrote it : I have 2 questions: why compare mono's to tri's ? That's just stupid. Second: who wins the contest for the most space below ?
I thought it took a very long time to overtake that mono. -
Not all conditions. In heavier wind like the day this was shot the tri will win due to the fact if can sail flat. But in low winds the increased drag and lower sail area will make the tri slower than the monohull. The same rule applies to cats as well

Nachem ich mit einem "1000 er" fünf erlebnisreiche und unvergessliche Jahre verbracht habe, verfolge ich die Weiterenwickung mit großem Interesse.
Zu den Innovationen und den Verbesserungen der Dragonfly Trimarane
beglückwünsche ich Jens Quorning und seien Crew. -
Pogo 50!
-
The 50' did surprisingly well though it's without a chance compared to the tri.
Had I been there on my slalom windsurf board I would have beat them both though with an average speed of some 3- 5 knots faster than the tri... :-). -
In principal, any well-designed trimaran will always out-sail any monohull or even a catamaran of similar or greater size simply because when she lifts that weather hull and puts any weight of crew out there she is already beating any comparative dynamic calculations concerning weight, wetted surface resistance, sail power ratios
and basic stability. There is no real performance comparison even when we have equal crews and helmsmen.
Is any monohull or catamaran capable of reaching a sustainable 50 knots?
I have had various sailboats in my time, including a beautiful 1936 35ft 16 ton gaff cutter, a 37ft 8 ton catamaran and now a 24ft half-ton trimaran. Each one has given me immense pleasure. But if we are talking about up-wind pointing and speed then my present little trimaran takes the biscuit. It's pure adrenalin! -
nice vid ..... why was the Mono in front of you when you caught up, he was behind you at the bginning of the movie :-).... let her slip by ? messed up tack ?
but great vid ..I know the feelin ( F33) -
i like the video great job. But i think the monohull was at a disadvantage. that was way to windy for the boat to sail flat. if it had a canting keel maybe the 50' would have won but for the meantime the dragonfly 32 is the winner. wish i could tri (lol) in my northshore 31
-
cool. love it
-
I think they call those boats LEANERS. More sail more leaning. LOL. Nice video clip.

df35 is also.... see: youtube.com/watch?v=2N9OhW8VXHQ
