Amazingly cool and interesting boat footage

[Ari]

We seem to have an "amazingly cool and interesting aeroplane footage" thread, but not one for boats, so here is one.

I'll kick it off with these.

150mph 50' Nor Tech Car with a jet turbine engine. Hits the gas at about 3:20

Not fast enough? How about a 4,000hp 200mph race boat version leaving the chase helicopter for dead?

Bit too frantic? Maybe Turks and Caicos to Nassau by boat through the Exuma Islands is more your thing.

If I was on that, I'd rather not know how much it's bending..!

OK, so not quite a boat, but a bloody cool water toy non the less.

How about a 140 foot superyacht?

Nothing new about that? How about one that does 75mph...!

Holy crap!!

How did they survive that!? No safety cell, no canopy, must have been doing 100mph+?

Alex Thomson walks up the mast of Hugo Boss.

Makes a nice change from doing the keel.

Trying to work out how he's secured on. He must be, because when the boat comes upright he's hanging on something, but I can't see anything as he runs up the mast.

Bloody impressive either way, that's a big mast!

[Ari]

They claim in that video that he jammed himself between the mast and sail. Not actually possible.

There is also a very brief shot as he runs up the mast where you can see what looks like a harness D ring thing attached to him
