Speaker
super impressive. They reached speeds of 5.6 knots, which is a little bit meaningless for me, but I think that's pretty fast, right? So, we actually follow another YouTuber of the Winds, actually. Yeah, the Winds. There's a lot of people that follow the Winds. Yeah. They recently got a brand new boat. Gone with the Winds. That's third. Yeah, it's called Gone with the Winds, yeah. They recently got a new boat, which is a really fancy boat. It's not a racing boat by any means, but it's a pretty fast 44, 45 foot boat. And they had like a friend on there and one of the most recent episodes in the last couple of months, if you're listening to this in real time. And the guy was like, oh my God, we're doing like six knots. Like he was super impressed by that because he's got kind of a homemade boat, like a Filipino sort of a traditional. Like traditional style. style. It's a huge boat and it's got these massive outriggers, but he was super impressed by doing like six knots. And now their boat can actually go probably twice that if it's really trimmed out with some good wind. But still, to have this traditional boat do 5.6 knots is kind of astounding. So when you put it like that, totally. I wasn't thinking about that because I hadn't, when I first wrote these notes, we hadn't watched that episode of the ones yet. And yeah, his bow, which was made with traditional techniques, very similar to how this one is. He was using Filipino and this is... Middle Eastern. And yeah, like he definitely could not go that fast, but yeah. So that is, that is definitely true. So pretty fast. Yeah. Pretty fast for a boat made of Reed's wood and goat hair, goat hair.
