you're looking at the fastest sailboat in the world that's right it's a French experimental boat called Leto up there and this 70-foot trimaran with its marine style wings practically flies on the water I took a ride with its skipper Allan table who first dreamed up the design as a young child when I was back at school I was ten I explained my teacher I want to stop my studies I want to fly why didn't you return you started designing then it's one life yeah and the engine is passion I have no watch or no calendar on the schedule noticing just the winner my paper my pen my passion the first time I thought about the première fois AHA man when I started I started on a scale model a wooden scale model and support the stability no was not good and progressively after I wanted to design another one a one-third scale model I was living outside I had no house and during six months I was outside with my carbon fiber my aluminium and I had a first help from our logic engineers you say what are you doing so crazy project it was edema I was a 18 somehow you have gotten people to give you money to keep building flying boats yes look I started not have that job I was his passion has taken him all over the world chasing sailings biggest speed records we also go we broke the absolute speed record over one of the columella our top speed was around the 56 not 105 kilometer in case you didn't get that he said 56 knots that's almost 65 miles an hour and it feels even faster when you're on the boat the technology that makes this boat so fast mostly comes from airplane you have the wing design right Bernoulli principle to get lift okay in the water it's exactly the same we use wings working in the water and we create over 12 knots we create lift to both take off and the hulls are out of the water there is no drag and progressively is as the acceleration is really powerful because we have no drug over 100 kilometers were only 2 square meter in the water table is not a one-man band he has a team of five others including his co skipper Jacques vensim Mycoskie Barranca Chekhov was a time we won the world is the most experimented guy on board but she's a woman I'm changed I am changed for my experience and result there [Laughter] here were Java one guy Sui on the deck here in Litella so unless we insider slipping or cooking or living here in LA tell yes just come on the money it's a hotel yes I'll return a.load on come on Maria I will I will show you okay come on screw the kitchen here is the kitchen here is the kitchen here the bathroom and fork nice he is a duly comment announcement you can enter here I'm living here yes here yes here is our measurement system engineer facing the computers on me I'm living here inside a the sweet spot to liver one is sleeping here the bus and two guys here and love only gonca the bathroom the kitchen under computer on measurement systems wait I thought that was the bathroom [Laughter] so now it's perfect never perfect no never perfect but but I want you to fly job done now I want to cross the eight passengers implicit Transpac the Pacific between LA and ry next spring and after I would like to cross the Atlantic in two days and a half with a new boat a new designer among the design at the moment and the ultimate dream is to to fly around the planet but we need to stay humble oh yeah one thing at a time
