00:00 (upbeat music)

00:02 So the main idea for the NIL-3 was to have the boat

00:13 very fast in the downwind and reaching,

00:17 but it's still important to be able to have

00:19 a reasonable speed upwind.

00:22 And the design of the hull is that when the boat is eeling,

00:26 okay, he is extending his waterline.

00:31 And that's why he's able to have

00:32 a relatively good speed upwind.

00:34 The cockpit idea was to make it very simple.

00:37 In addition, because I'm not a young guy,

00:40 I tried to make things to be able to be too strong

00:42 to do that.

00:43 So everything is a, you know, a sort of demultiplication.

00:46 I don't know if the name is correct.

00:48 In some situation, I'm here to be able to winch the main

00:53 and to winch the headstay.

00:55 Correct, headstay.

00:56 Okay, and all the time I can be there, okay,

01:00 just to do the same with one hand here.

01:02 And I can do, because typically on spinnaker,

01:05 we have this and we can do that.

01:07 So the idea is always to be able to manage

01:10 both winches in the same time.

01:12 Very comfortable, I don't know what you call that,

01:14 to put the foot.

01:15 We have only asymmetric spinnakers, okay,

01:18 that we drop in the cockpit, okay,

01:20 very easily in the little box maneuver.

01:23 Again, we can do that even with, it's quite windy,

01:25 we have to drop the spinnaker in 25 knots.

01:28 It was not so difficult.

01:29 So things are done to be easy.

01:33 So on several halyards are two to one, okay,

01:36 because it helps you to put more pressure,

01:38 to have the sails with more tension.

01:41 So that's why we have here two halyards, which are two to one.

01:45 Again, no tuff luff here, again, to make it simple.

01:48 And here's the possibility to have a G3,

01:52 which is with a furler.

01:53 So when it's really windy,

01:55 you can just furl the G3 for maneuver.

01:58 Downstairs, again, comfort is key.

02:02 As you can see, there is here.

02:04 You can sit here and it's a,

02:06 when the boat is heeling, it's extremely comfortable.

02:09 You can really rest here or do the route

02:13 and the navigation there.

02:15 And there is, you can put all your stuff here in the box.

02:19 And it's quite comfortable to sleep, okay.

02:23 So simple and I hope efficient.

02:28 - I love innovation.

02:30 And we had a lot of discussion with the architects.

02:33 And sometimes I was a little bit hesitating,

02:37 but they convinced me to try as many things as possible.

02:40 Typically, we had a lot of discussion about the mast.

02:42 Do we put the mast on the deck

02:44 or do we put the mast on the keel?

02:46 I was in favor on the mast and the keel

02:47 because I've been used to that.

02:49 And the architect told me, if you dismast,

02:51 it's much better to have the mast on the deck.

02:54 So I say, okay, that's a good argument.

02:57 And so we change.

02:58 There is a lot of innovation in this boat, as you can see.

03:01 And I think it's very interesting

03:02 to try to make one step further.

03:04 Yes, I'm excited to see if things are,

03:05 and I'm sure we will have some modification

03:07 because not everything will work.

03:10 But for the time being, it's a compromise,

03:12 which is quite good.

03:13 (upbeat music)

03:16 (bell ringing)

03:19 (wind whooshing)
