Not only the fastest marine circumnavigation, but absolutely BTFO power boats, completing their circumnavigation 15 DAYS faster than the fastest power boat.

Powerboats absolutely BTFO!

The seas belong to SAIL POWER!

The average speed was 26 knots, most ocean liners and military ships cruise at 30+ knots. I have a feeling there are thousands of powered ships that could beat this record. Also I am getting sick and tired of round the world records being set by going around Antarctica. Round the world means following the equator as close as possible which means passing through the Suez and Panama canals.

Around the world doesn't mean following an equatorial route, it implies it. You're implying that the context is inaccurate. I get what you're saying, but who cares?

If most all people in sailing say 'around the world' and they mean achieving it by sailing around the tip of South America and South Africa then there is no other context to need to frame it in. The precedence has long since been set and the same definition used for a very long time.

Also, good luck sailing the equator with your doldrums. Perhaps you can harness all that anger to fill your sails as you set your world record.

Could they? What power boat that goes so fast could do so without constant fuel stops? Besides, they're totally unenvironmental.

Sailboat only needs food and water for the crew, no nasty hydrocarbons.

Pic related, record holder for power boats (61 days). Got rekt by SeaShepherd retards who played chicken with a fishing ship.

Twin 540Hp engines and got BTFO by over two weeks lmao. POS's top speed is only 34 knots, even there it gets BTFO by L'Hydroptere at 56 knots and Vestas Sailrocket II at 65 knots.

To be fair boats like the Banque Populaire V may well not be able to traverse equatorially, it's beam is 75', too big for the Suez at least.

It seems that the nuc plant is only good for 20 kn, then it fires up additional petroleum boilers for a battlefield sprint of 32 kn. It could not keep that up for long. Many warships have some sort of combined propulsion for economy OR performance.

You're looking at boats that are optimized for unpowered circumnavigation record-breaking. They are literally good for nothing else at all.

If you tried to do anything useful with them, they would fail. So, yeah: If you want to drive a boat around Antarctica. And you don't want to spend any money on fuel. And you don't care how long it takes, so long as it doesn't take as long as the last guy who tried it. And you absolutely, motherfucking, will. not. do. any. useful. thing. on the way. Then by all means use a purpose-built sailboat.

But for actually getting shit done in the real world? Sail is a toy for toybabies.

And yet a power boat purpose built for circumnavigating as fast as possible, useless for anything else still got absolutely BTFO by sail power lol.

And sail can certainly work, there's no reason we couldn't have huge sail powered freight once more, though I wouldn't advocate for such since 2bh efficiency in internal combustion engines increases with size and the massive ones in tankers and such are some of the most efficient engines we've ever created.

Sail is still far more elegant though, ugly motorboats will never be able to compete on an aesthetic level.

Oh also for living on and cruising the world sail once again leaves powerboats BTFO, unless you're some rich toybabby

It helps direct your energy, and you only have so much weight to counteract the force of the wind. It also can lower the surface area in contact of the water.

Those are J-class yachts that are a class of yacht that was used in the 1930s americas cup and are still raced today because they are such beautiful sailboats. They weigh 150 tons, most of that weight is ballast, there is no way they would ever capsize even in a hurricane

They have lol (well actually ancient polynesians I guess did). Catamarans and Trimarans, they heel significantly less. Racing ones will still try to fly all but one hull in order to decrease wetted surface (basically they're carrying a fuck ton of sail compared to a monohull), but for normal sailing and cruising on a large multihull they're pretty flat.
