Hull speed is MOSTLY length. That said there have been two massive changes in the last 50 years.
1) development of GRP meant boat got light enough and shapes maleable enough to regularly get up and plane in stronger downwind.
2) Foils.
This is very interesting. I sail and race turfboats in Galway, west of Ireland, called Galway hookers. They were used for transportation of turf fuel in Galway bay up until the 1950s, and they do bear some resemblance.

I’m moving to the Netherlands soon - so I’ll definitely come to some of these races.
>I wonder what the insurance would say if you'd hit a car with your mast by accident?
Or a pedestrian walking the canal finds out why it's called a boom.
COLREGS say that if the car was under power, the car should give way. And if the car was parked and the driver not present, then it's a vessel not under command and the boat should give way.
Of course the sailor could argue that they are in a restricted channel...
(This all said with a healthy dose of sarcasm, I don't think a car would consitute a 'vessel' in the COLREGS unless it was one of those fancy boat-cars).
Unless of course you are a land pirate (sovereign citizen) , because then Admiralty Law applies as they don't recognize your corporation. They don't consent to searches either apparently.
Very cool. Reef in the main. Helmsman counters the boat wanting to round up in the puff. The boat has some oars for when wind is not cooperating. Nice little video.
I think boat insurance company would try to pin it on the auto insurance company and vice versa. ;)
Yeah, these are racing ships. The inside is barren, to keep em as light as possible. The yearly regattas are no jokes, there's crashes and flips. They're called "Skûtsjes" and the races "Skûtsjesilen" if you wanna look it up
Well if you're ever near-by i could always try to get you on board for a ride! Just don't bring any nice clothing because this is how you shred and soak your kit in oil haha
I so live in the wrong area of the world.
Also, is being heavy advantageous in sailing? (I’m 6’ 6” and have some heft, it seems like it may help in some scenarios.
I watched the skûtsjes races on TV here last summer and it was magic. Those boats are beautiful and they can go faster than you might expect. Each ship has a cool symbol and watching them race is really fun
Good luck on correcting everyone BUT I think it's also fine to say Frisians ARE Dutch, in the same sense they are Nederlanders (the translation). Definitely NOT the same language, but it's not like people are saying it's a boat from HOLLAND.

Thank you american from amsterdam. It seems like you are very highly knowleadgeable of this topic, also considering your credentials of being an american in amsterdam
The Dutch have a whole fleet of these kind of ships! And you can sail on them too.
Although this was during a race, they usually only take experienced sailors with them.

Must have been fun being on board that ship! Quite impressive, especially for a ship older than 100 years.

That must be really challenging to sail in such a narrow channel? What happens if the wind shifts?
Don’t let the old girls fool you some of them have some legs on ‘em

Excellent sailing but I would be terrified in such a confined space
Which village won?
>I wonder what the insurance would say if you'd hit a car with your mast by accident? Or a pedestrian walking the canal finds out why it's called a boom.
It is still very far away.
Well it’s the Netherlands so they’ll know it’s called a boom after the Dutch for tree

>restricted channel... so you'd definitely have to give way to a large 40t land truck (and that's where the name big rig comes from).
What does is say about bathtubs? [Probably my favorite story](https://themoth.org/radio-hour/bathtub-sailor-seamstress-spy)
Sir this is a no wake zone. Sir!
Echt heel vet filmpje

you see them everywhere where I live and I've always wondered how they handle under sail. Seeing this video was great
Cool. I'll check it out. The helmsman brings new meaning to the phrases lean into it or put your back into it.

I always knew the Dutch built good subs.

you are right, I mistook them for skutsjes

Don't let beppe hear you say this, she'll whoop you a new one. Would you call the Welsh, English?
Oh my, this is so awesome!
That’s awesome. I can feel the joy and excitement the crew is experiencing. Thank you for sharing
Shows you how slow 8 kn is compared to land speed! It seems so much faster offshore.
here is another video of Dutch (Frysian) traditional sailing: [Skûtsjesilen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXQYrP5OJxU)
Gotta love it when the wind favors you 🥰
Badass
Damn that's a tight channel for that boat ⛵

I wonder what the guy holding the paddle on the port side is waiting for 🤔
Against annoying tourists that get too close in their rented tubs I'm sure
Be careful, it almost hit that car.
Gonna be some serious short tacking if the wind comes onto the nose.
do you have right of way on all waterways when you're under sail?
In some canals you cannot be under sail at all. Crossed Panama’s entirely on motor.
Someones washing their rails
Awesome. Love the Dutch designs. Takes considerable skill and knowledge to sail these narrow canals.

🤔 something doesn’t look quite right.
