@emme113 theyre good.. but id say abn amro is more reliable
Oh my fucking puma boots !
puma has got one of the best looking boats in the world
Pendulum ‘Granite’
name of the song??
yeah.. the bottom line is cn 50 is NOT faster
which was my point al along
ok yes it might have beaten it over the line but privateer still beat it over all. bottom line
yeah, I now.I said that 10 threads ago.08 Newport race open class 19 handicap winner , because cn 50 is a handicap racer puma is a box rule racer.. that deosnt mean its faster it just means it has better rating according to its speed. if u check the actual race results il mostro finished 18 hours before privateer! you can also see that the real speedboat even finished it faster in real time from il mostro by 5 hours.and in corrected time privateer passed puma by a lucky 20 min in a 70 hour race
ok just found this on the cookson website: 6. Cookson 50 winner of Open Division in Newport Race
(News/Latest News)
Privateer, a Cookson 50 owned by Ronald OHanley of Boston Massachusetts, is now the provisional winner of the Open Division in the Newport Bermuda Race ahead of Pumas Volvo 70 Il Mostro
either say something factual or just admit the reality.. A canted keel out of the water is not a bad thing for a VO70 keel bc it doesnt get the righting moment from the keel strake area it gets it from the massive 4.5 ton keel bulb, when it is out ofthe water , it means less wetted surface area, but the canard does that job so its all good. so what you are saying is that a boat that is designed to race 40000miles at every single wind angle and speed cant go upwind?fyi VO70 CAN do 11+knots upwind
ok on the wind a vo70 isnt very good if the keel is canted out and the dagger boards only help a little bit. the cn50 would have great upwind capabilities and would have a handicap rating of some sort. im not sure where or what race it was it in but i know for a fact that it happened
please enlighten me, which cookson 50 beat Puma one on one in which race? The only way that I see that happening is Puma being sailed by pigs (actual pink pigs) or you are talking about a result of an IRC/ORC whatever handicap system correction result they were racing in. Which brings out the case.. cookson 50 is a handicap boat, VO70 is not, its a box rule class boat that is designed for pure speed, which makes the rating of Puma out the roof.. Theoratically one on one beat is impossible!
yeah soz i just found out that the cn50 wasnt called speedboat. but it still bet puma though
please stop saying that speedboat is a cookson 50.. go to cookson s website, google it , check it on uanyachtdesign,com , do something but stop calling speedboat a cn50 ( its just an insult to the boat )
yeah except that speedboat (cn50) cost like 6million to build. and if a javelin can out run a farr727 then a cn50 could out run a vo70/60 (on the wind maybe but defenitly not downwind)
listen! I dont have anything against cookson boats, I love them! I dream the day that I own one.. I just wanted to spread the knowledge.. a brand new cookson 50 is about 800.000euros where a “SPEEDBOAT” is like 20 million euros.. its imossible to beat PUMA or any other VO70 and even Vold VO 60′s with a cookson50 , one on one…
yes but the cn50 is a fully striped all carbon racer with great upwind capabilities that cost multi multi millions to build
dont get me wrong,I dont want to insult you or anything, but what I m trying to say is tht there are VERY few boats that can mach up with a VO70.super maxi race yachts such as Leopard ICAP, speedboat, alfaromeo,etc are the only ones that might have a fighting chance over these boats ,and luckily speedboat took that in Newport bermuda race in 08, not in a match race.the thing is,its just impossible to beat it buy a cookson50 that us immortals can buy, unless you have multi million $’s for “fun”
ok we are thinking of different boats but im sure more than 1 yacht with the name speedboat has beaten puma :)
That might be because SPEEDBOAT is not a cookson 50 but a 30 meter canting keel custom “speed boat” with internal ballast that was designed by Juan Kouyoumdjian to break records, not to race in a box rule. It is now Richard Branson’s new toy trying to break Atlantic Passage record(failed in first attempt) and named “Virgin Money”
the boat looks awesome BUT a new zealand designed and built cookson 50 racing yacht called SPEEDBOAT beat puma in a match race.
The most beautiful boat of the VOR. Go Puma!
1:28! Epic chinese gybe! Awesome vid! Sailing rocks!
