Alessio lidozzi - New Super Yacht "Comanche" Built
- 1. by Alessio Lidozzi A Record-Breaking Super Yacht Has Been Built
- 2. BACKGROUND In the world of yachting and competitive sailing, speed reigns supreme with handling and agility coming in at a close second. As international racing teams continue to battle for the top yachting prizes around the world, they are also improving the ships they sail by researching newer, stronger, more lightweight materials, as well as new designs that can give them that extra needed edge to take home the gold.
- 3. Tech Newcomer Now, as the competition heats up, a new ship has just been built by tech billionaire Jim Clark that is promising to not only revolutionize the sailing world, but also break a number of speed records while doing so.
- 4. Jim Clark Jim Clark is a high school drop-out who’s worth over $1.4 billion thanks to co-founding Netscape and investing wisely in Apple, Twitter, and Facebook. He has used a large chunk of his fortune to invest in a new yacht, named the Comanche, that uses the latest sail and hull technologies to blow the competition out of the water with an expected top speed of around 40mph.
- 5. The Comanche The Comanche is being built to set records—of that there is no doubt—and Clark has been very forthcoming about his hopes for his new toy. It is named after Quanah Parker, the last Comanche chief to surrender to the United States and who did so only 60 miles away from where Clark was born and grew up in Texas; an area where “the plains are very flat like the ocean.” Clark is looking to hold on to the Comanche for two years before selling it off.
- 6. Expectations In those two years he has set his expectations high and is looking to win events such as the Transatlantic, the Transpac, the Fastnet, and the Middle Sea races while breaking speed records along the way. With the Comanche’s first race looking to be the famed Sydney- Hobart yacht race, it will be jumping straight into the deep-end of yachting races and it’s the perfect test to see if the Comanche will live up to Jim Clark’s expectations.
