    I helped make the sails for this boat an man when they say they are big.

    I'm at the isle of wight now where this boat is being moored and I just watched it go and jeez that thing goes fast
  • Interior is straight out of a sci-fi movie...minimalistic but gorgeous.
  • I’d love to see it go up against Wild Oats and Comanche on a Sydney to Hobart… Those three beating to the heads on a sunny Sydney Harbour would be an awesome sight…

    Good luck to the crew of Scorpios for the Fastnet, great video also, thank you.
  • Incredible...makes my heart leap and miss the ocean more than I already do...absolutely beautiful!
  • @BRMCaptChaos
    This is unbelievable engineering and craftsmanship. What a thing. Great video
  • @davidc6510
    What a phenomenal looking boat. I look forward to seeing it perform on a long leg course.
  • @robinhodgkinson
    Canting keel? Meh… Canting seats! Now I’m impressed. ; ) Awesome boat.
  • @virtualgeezer
    Saw that beast anchored up in Cowes yesterday, but I had no idea what it was until now! What a monster. 😈
  • @jjansen987
    Amazing craftsmanship! Purpose built for sure.
  • @farrellko
    Holy crap. What a machine! Would love to drive that off the wind in 20+ kts. Bring a smile to my face.
  • @mcbrite
    That interior is STUNNING! Like a space ship! - Really reminds me of the interior design of Star Citizen's (PC game) ships!
  • @coma13794
    I know almost nothing about boats, but seeing that the small interior section took 2 years to build got my attention, along with the quality of the wiring. This thing was clearly not slapped together. What a beast. Such a sparse interior, but still awesome to see.
  • I'm proud to say they build yachts this quality in my country <3 Must have been awesome ride even for experienced sailor & boat tester :)

    I know it does not meet the specifications for the Sydney-Hobart, but I would still love to see this boat race the maxi's. Just to see what is achievable.
