Surface to Air: Artemis Racing film by Altair

[davesimon]

Hi,

Full disclosure:  I work for Altair with the title of VP - Corporate Communications.  We are a technical supplier to Artemis Racing, and just released a 12-minute film about their program and use of simulation to achieve performance.  Film is here:  http://www.designthedifference.com/

No claims of groundbreaking content for sailors immersed in the sport, definitely an interesting watch.

Thanks,

Dave

Yes, posted in the Artemis thread too and at several sailing magazine sites. Beautiful video.

Altair published several 'Preview' pieces, is this video the culmination or are there more? Great producer you have, good title too.

This is the culmination for the Artemis work....we may do other films with other (non-sailing) clients in the future.  Thanks for noting the production quality...the guys worked hard at it.

Thank you for the link: very interesting and informative video. Down-to-earth and articulate presentation by Percy and key team members. Good luck...

Great video, and thanks for sharing.  Artemis come across as a great bunch of guys and they clearly are in this to win it.  Of course I hope ETNZ win, but if there were another winner, many would be delighted for it to be Artemis for their sportsmanship, dedication and their history in this event.

Great Video, the team look focused and determined...should be a great LV qualifier series!

I agree. Artemis are definitely a bunch of good guys. My only reservation with truly getting behind them(besides being a die hard ETNZ fan) is that they signed that very un-AC agreement, so even if they do win, everyone still has to play in larry's little circle jerk. That drops them down several hundred notches in my book. 

Sorry, but it's the AC FFS!

you want this continuity shit, go play in GC 32's in the extreme sailing circle jerk. 

 

[KiwiJoker]

A little harsh but we get your point.  B)   And agree with it.  Lovely vid but questionable targeting under the circumstances.

Awesome video would love to have that Walker Potts looking over my shoulder. Very good at what he does from all reports notwithstanding his military background. Great to see an insight into the people behind the scenes.

Well done on the short film. Unusual,  in a good way, to see such a high quality production on Sailing. Best of luck to Artemis, they seem to have been the quiet achievers this Cup cycle and look forebodingly fast..

Great video, gets me excited for the cup... and I say that as a Bay Area resident who unplugged once the cup wasn't going to be defended here.

By the way, is Nathan Outteridge's name misspelled in the credits at 11:42? Or is that a nickname?

Maybe someone can explain to me what IP was saying at 9.00.

In no wind and 12 knts current ART could go up the Amazon.

1. Yes with 12 knots current, ART could foil

2. But where do they get the thrust in no wind?

Not possible

Barnby and Jaysper ... It's apparent wind...  aim your vessel across the current... generate apparent wind and away you go ... Cheers, AL.

ah!

Got it.

 

[jaysper]

ah!

Got it.

Holy crap!

 

[juniordave nz]

Someone get a moth out there and try it. Surely they'd be able to do it as well....

Great video

 

[Red Dolphin]

Not possible

Your right I don't think what he's saying is possible. You could maybe foil in The direction of the current at double it's speed. And I'm absolutely positive this is what he meant to say. Nice video for sure tho. 

 

[Apparent Lee]

RD .. with respect, an AC 50  with 12 knots of apparent wind  will exceed 25 knots of boat speed ... therefore with 12 knots current will generate 13 knots speed over ground ...Ian Percy knows way more about this than I or you and again ... with respect you are wrong. AL
