Performed in black tie by the owner of the boat, in the Solent. The canting keel helps...

The rig must be exceptionally <u>well-balanced</u> in order to roll it's keel out of the water without rounding up. (I'm not sure the same can be said for the owner! )

Steve, you caused me to look for the rudder(s), and I don't see one. I wonder if it cants in the opposite direction, to keep it vertical in the water (and prevent rounding up)... Similar boats I've seen have twin rudders--both angled outward to compensate for heel.

Incidentally, that guy raced that boat around the world.

The keel is a canting keel. They can hydraulically swing from side to side. There are also daggerboards forward of the mast. The leeward one is down, the windward one is up. For the rudders, there are two rudders. The windward rudder is retracted. Look for the orange blade on the windward side of the transom. In the beginning of the video it is down. Later it is up.

These are amazing boats and the stories told by those that race them around the world are fascinating.
