3 speed records smashed by Comanche
Comanche breaks the transatlantic speed record.
Sailing superyacht Comanche has set a new record for crossing the Atlantic Ocean after completing her latest Transat on July 28.
The 30.45 metre carbon-fibre yacht sailed from New York’s Ambrose Lighthouse to the UK’s Lizard Point in 5 days, 14 hours, 21 minutes and 25 seconds. This new speed record for a sailing monohull, which is subject to ratification, shaves 27 hours off the previous fastest time previously set in 2003 by Mari Cha IV (which has since been refitted and renamed Samurai ).
Prior to Comanche ’s departure from New York on July 22, skipper Ken Read, president of North Sails, said: “We have been on standby for a few weeks now and have almost left on three separate occasions since the end of June. But now the right conditions have presented themselves.”
Read’s media commitments at the 2016 America’s Cup World Series Portsmouth meant he could not be on board for the record-breaking crossing. In his absence, Comanche ’s crew was led by Casey Smith.
The success of Comanche – the sailing yacht built to win – follows her second place finish at the 2014 Sydney Hobart race .
This Transatlantic speed record is just the latest in a remarkable series of records broken by Comanche .
Comanche sets a new 24-hour distance record
The Transatlantic speed record comes 12 months after Comanche set a new 24-hour distance record for monohulls. The record was broken during the 2015 Transatlantic Race after Comanche covered 618.01 nautical miles in 24 hours.
Her average speed was recorded as 25.75 knots, on the cusp of some strong southwesterly winds in the North Atlantic. The 24-hour distance record has since been ratified by the World Sailing Speed Record Council.
Comanche sets a speed record at Les Voiles de St Barth
After she failed to win the 2014 Sydney Hobart race on her maiden regatta, the first half of 2015 saw Comanche come into her own and deliver in every conceivable way.
In an April showdown with a fleet of some of the world’s finest sailing yachts at Les Voiles de St Barth 2015 , Comanche established a speed record in the Maxi I class with a time of 2 hours, 33 minutes and 4 seconds, taking all line honours in her division.

Comanche Story: Across the Ocean in a Work Week
Shattering the transatlantic sailing record.
Even the most daunting world records are meant to be broken … eventually. For elite navigator Stan Honey and a crew of sailing all-stars, beating the prestigious monohull transatlantic sailing record was the ultimate accomplishment. And it was no easy feat. On July 22, 2016, the Comanche — a custom-built, 100-foot racing yacht — set sail from New York to the southern tip of England.
Precisely five days, 14 hours, 21 minutes and 25 seconds later, the Comanche’s crew shattered the world record … by more than a day.
Brave the high seas as we set sail on one of the most amazing and inspiring journeys ever to take place on film.

About Comanche
Comanche is a 100 ft (33 m) maxi yacht. She was designed in France by VPLP and Guillaume Verdier and built in the United States by Hodgdon Yachts for Dr. James H. Clark and christened as Comanche .
Comanche holds the 24-hour sailing record for monohulls, covering 618 nm, for an average of 25.75 knots or 47.69 kmh/h. The boat won line honours in the 2015 Fastnet race and the 2015 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, under the leadership of skipper Ken Read. In 2017, Comanche set a new Transpac record, covering 484.1 nmi in 24 hours, for an average speed of 20.2 knots (37.4 km/h). In 2019, under navigator Stan Honey, the yacht won the 2225-mile 50th Transpacific Yacht Race, with a time of 5 days 11 hours 14 minutes 05 seconds. Comanche won the 2017 Sydney to Hobart yacht race, with a time of 1 day 9 hours 15 minutes 24 seconds, a record that still stands today.
At 5 days 14 hours 21 minutes 25 seconds, the sailing yacht holds the Monohull Transatlantic sailing record for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, which they achieved on July 28, 2016.
In December 2017, was sold to Australian Jim Cooney, and was renamed to LDV Comanche, as part of a one-time sponsorship from SAIC Maxus Automotive Co’s LDV brand. The yacht later returned to its original, unsponsored title of Comanche. Under this name it won the Sydney-Hobart race again in 2019 in 1 day 18 hours and 30 minutes.
Soon after the completion of the 2019 Sydney-Hobart race, Comanche was reportedly sold to a Russian interest group. [7] Details of the sale have not been disclosed as of yet.

Comanche on Transatlantic Record Setting Pace
Published on July 27th, 2016 by Assoc Editor -->
(July 27, 2016) – Comanche, the record-breaking 100ft yacht owned by Jim Clark and Kristy Hinze-Clark, looks set to conclude their transatlantic record bid at Lizard Point (UK) on Thursday July 28. The latest ETA puts the Supermaxi at the finish point around 12 PM UTC (1 PM BST), which would see the experienced crew secure another major ocean record.
As of 21:20 UTC, Comanche was 458 nm ahead of the record pace.
In 2015, Comanche set the 24 hour monohull distance record of 618 miles as they raced across the Atlantic (at an average speed of 25.75 knots).

Fastest yacht: The giant record breakers
- Toby Heppell
- October 29, 2021
Skorpios is the latest in a long list of giant monohulls designed with a view to becoming the fastest yacht on the planet. We take a look at some of her predecessors
![comanche sailboat record](https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2021/10/Record-breaking-maxis_Promo-1-630x394.jpg)
Every so often the yacht racing world sees an ambitious owner with pockets deep enough to want to step things up a gear and produce a new record-smashing fastest yacht.
The latest of these to hit the water is the jaw-dropping ClubSwan 125 Skorpios built for its Russian owner, Dmitry Rybolovlev. Almost everything about this new monster yacht is bigger, stronger, faster and higher tech than any boat which came before it.
Pretty much any metric you care to look at on Skorpios is mind-boggling. The five-spreader Southern Spars mast stands at 175 feet tall, and she can carry 11,324 square feet of sail upwind, and 21,108 square feet downwind.
![comanche sailboat record](https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2021/10/YAW266.ssw_clubswan125.210729_skorios_lloydimages_095-630x394.jpg)

Skorpios has been built with the express brief to break offshore records as the world’s fastest yacht. Her recent win in the 2021 Fastnet Race – only weeks after hitting the water for the first time – shows she certainly has what it takes to take line honours in big races.
And the numbers Skorpios has shown while racing initially seem to indicate that it is really only a matter of time until she starts claiming some of the biggest records on offer in the sailing world.
But Skorpios is only the latest in a long line of new yachts built with the express purpose of winning line honours and taking records, each bigger, faster and more technologically advanced than that which came before.
The current transatlantic record holder, Comanche , is probably the yacht that most readily springs to mind when we’re looking at the development path for Skorpios .
Before Skorpios , Comanche was the most recent, highly ambitious racing yacht on the planet. She was built with one thing in mind and one thing only, to break ocean records and win line honours in some of the world’s most famous races.

“The design office were told specifically by me that if this boat wasn’t the worst rated boat in history they have failed,” stated the owner Jim Clark on Maxi, Comanche ’s launch, reaffirming the aim of the boat to break records and win line honours without any consideration for handicap wins.
Comanche was something of a revelation when she was first launched. Over the years boats had been carrying more beam (width) towards the transom to create more power – at the expense of outright light weather, upwind and VMG running performance.
Comanche took this line of thought to the extreme with what seemed an impossibly wide stern, which led to the boat being nicknamed the aircraft carrier.
Although Skorpios is technically beamier than Comanche (8.75m vs 7.85m) the ClubSwan’s hull shape has a more modest beam-to-length ratio, and far greater internal volume and higher freeboard, all products of the project starting out with some focus on cruising in addition to outright performance.
But despite a slightly less powerful hull shape compared to Comanche , when you look at the rig, you see that this will likely be overcome by sheer grunt in terms of sail area. Skorpios ’ mainsail alone is 7,093 square feet, compared to Comanche ’s 4,413 square feet.
Comanche was, indeed is, a yacht that pushed technology to the absolute limit and when she was launched her extreme design caused quite a stir.
She is still considered one of the fastest yachts on the face of the earth and, in addition to her transatlantic record, Comanche also holds the monohull 24 hour sailing record at an impressive 618.01nm (averaging 25.75 knots) in a 24 hour period.
These two records will almost certainly be two of the key prize scalps Skorpios will be hoping to take.
Mari Cha IV
Although for many Comanche is the most obvious boat to which Skorpios can be compared, arguably a closer comparison could be that of Mari Cha IV , particularly when you consider length and ambition to break oceanic records.
The 140ft Mari Cha IV was launched in 2003, at this size both Mari Cha IV and (140ft) Skorpios face a similar problem, there are several top races that have an upper LOA limit of 100ft – neither could take part in the Sydney Hobart race for example.
![comanche sailboat record Philippe-Briand-superyacht-designer-profile-Mari-Cha-IV-Thierry-Martinez](https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2020/10/Philippe-Briand-superyacht-designer-profile-Mari-Cha-IV-Thierry-Martinez-630x394.jpg)
Mari-Cha IV held the Atlantic record for 12 years. Photo: Thierry Martinez
In 2003, Mari-Cha IV set a new west-east transatlantic record with a total time of 6 days, 17 hours. During the run, she also set a new 24 hour monohull distance record of 525.5 nautical miles . This record stood until Comanche snatched the crown in 2016.
Due to her size and the sail area needed to power the giant, Mari Cha IV was built as a two-masted schooner. This meant that each mast could be smaller – within the bounds of the technology available at the time.
The twin rig on Mari Cha IV also meant each of the sails could be smaller than would be needed on a single masted yacht, reducing loads and enabling the boat to be sailed without resorting to powered winches.
That Skorpios is a single masted 140 footer demonstrates two things. The ClubSwan 125 shows the advances in technology with a single 175ft mast now being much more easily managed and understood – thanks, in no small part to advancements in load sensing technology which have filtered down from the America’s Cup and high tech offshore yachts such as the Ultime trimaran and IMOCA 60 fleets.
However, sail handling for sails of the size needed on Skorpios is still an issue and the ClubSwan 125 still needs powered winches, which will put her out of contention for a number of records that require exclusively human power.
In 2008, Speedboat was launched . The Juan Kouyoumdjian -designed 100ft Maxi was a yacht designed to produce blistering speeds and was built with the express purpose of ocean record breaking.
![comanche sailboat record Speedboat, Newport Bermuda Race 2010](https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2010/06/Alt_2010Npt_Berm_df_816B1-600x400.jpg)
Speedboat , Newport Bermuda Race 2010
The yacht was built by Mick Cookson at Cookson Boats in New Zealand and her radical underwater features, including an incredibly flat run aft were all features that would later be included in the design of Comanche – features that demonstrate a yacht built for record breaking as they offer serious compromises in lighter winds.
In many respects Speedboat was the first to take the wide flat hull concept and transplant it wholesale into a 100ft Maxi.
Speedboat was also the first Maxi to have a deck-stepped rig, which was produced by Southern Spars, and she has plenty of other radical features.
To an extent Speedboat was built as a scaled up version of the Volvo 70 ’s which had been impressing in the Volvo Ocean Race . As such it is hardly a surprise the boat was the product of Kouyoumdjian’s design house, as he had created several of the fastest Volvo 70s then racing.
Unfortunately Speedboat arrived at the very start of the financial crisis and she only sailed in a number of events before she was mothballed and eventually sold.
She went through a couple of incarnations before being purchased by George David and was sailed as Rambler 100 during which time she dramatically lost her keel and capsized while competing in the Fastnet Race .
For his part David would go on to commission Kouyoumdjian to draw Rambler 88 , an impressive bit of kit in its own right and aimed at winning line honours and races outright in an 88ft package.
Wild Oats XI
No list of record breakers and record holders would be complete without a mention of Wild Oats XI , the 100 ft Maxi belonging to the Oatley family, which has won the Sydney Hobart no less than seven times.
Wild Oats XI ( WOXI for short) was actually launched back in 2005 and is a prime example of what can be done to a yacht to keep her on pace with current trends and developments.
In 2009 she was lengthened at bow and stern from 98ft to 100ft. In 2011 her forward balanced spade canard was removed and twin daggerboards were added amidships. In 2012 she received a bow centreboard as well as caudal fin winglets on her torpedo bulb.
![comanche sailboat record](https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2015/12/content_photo_2015_12_36996_0_1_photo_SYHO15sg_02152-600x400.jpg)
Wild Oats XI . Photo: Kurt Arigo / Rolex
In 2013 she was equipped with a Dynamic Stability System (DSS) foil, which is a retractable horizontal foil deployed on the leeward side of the boat.
In 2015 her stern was shortened by 2m and her 12m forward sections were replaced by a 14m longer, sleeker bow, keeping her midship sections unmodified and in effect moving her entire existing sailplan aft by 2m, a trend which had been seen in many of the newer maxis to be produced since.
The various appendages which have been added and removed over the years have lent the yacht the affectionate nickname the ‘Swiss army knife’.
By today’s standards WOXI remains a very skinny boat in the Maxi world – she and almost-sistership at the time of launch, Alfa Romeo II both had a max beam of a little over 5m.
Wild Oats XI remains a potent race boat and particularly for races like the Sydney Hobart, her relatively narrow beam gives her an edge in light winds, VMG running and beating, all of which mean she is still very hard to beat over a race with mixed conditions – if ultimately working against her should she ever look to set oceanic records.
Leopard 3 ( ICAP Leopard as she was launched) hit the water in 2007 for serial Maxi owner, Mike Slade. The Farr design had a number of unique features at the time of launch, which made her one of the most impressive superyachts on the circuit.
![comanche sailboat record ICAP Round Britain and Ireland Race 2010](https://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2010/08/ica1-600x400.jpg)
ICAP Round Britain and Ireland Race 2010
Leopard ’s mast was a towering 154ft and she could set a total downwind sail area of 17,265 sq ft. At the time this was a vast amount of sail – though Skorpios ’ 21,108 sq ft is something of a stark comparison.
Leopard is capable of speeds of over 35 knots. But her similarities to Skorpios actually centre around the plans the British boat had from the start to enable cruising and racing in a little more comfort.
Leopard featured a luxurious removable interior, which could be removed for racing and refitted for cruising or for charter – for which she had also been specifically designed and built.
Although Skorpios does not go quite as far as a fully removable interior, there is, at least, a nod to comfort in her design when compared to the out and out racer that is Comanche .

Rapper Travis Scott arrested on disorderly intoxication charge in Miami Beach
Rapper Travis Scott was arrested early Thursday on a disorderly intoxication charge after, authorities say, he yelled at people on a yacht in Miami Beach, Florida, police records show.
Scott, 33, the "goosebumps" rapper whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center around 4:30 a.m. on a charge of disorderly intoxication, as well as trespassing property after warning.
![comanche sailboat record Booking photo for Travis Scott](https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2024-06/240620-travis-scott-arrest-mn-0837-2a5ef1.jpg)
“Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding," his legal representative Bradford Cohen said. "There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution.”
Scott was arrested after police were called to the Miami Beach Marina early Thursday on a report of a disturbance on a yacht, according to a Miami Beach police arrest affidavit. A person had called dispatch saying people were fighting on the vessel.
Officers found Scott “standing by the dock yelling at the vessel occupants,” authorities said. At first, he complied with police commands to sit down, but then he disregarded them, officials said. The complainant told police he didn’t want to press charges and just wanted Scott off the vessel, they said.
Officers could sense “a strong smell of alcohol coming from the defendant's breath,” the affidavit said.
Ultimately, he agreed to leave the dock after threat of arrest, but he didn’t go quietly, officials said. During the walk to the boardwalk, Scott “walked backwards yelling obscenities to the occupants of the vessel,” the affidavit said.
He left the marina but returned five minutes later and was seen by officers walking back toward the vessel, authorities said.
Scott spoke to a sergeant he had spoken to earlier and began yelling once again — “becoming erratic” and “disturbing the peace of the occupants of the marina and nearby residential buildings causing a public disturbance,” the affidavit said.
He was taken into custody at 1:17 a.m., the affidavit said. Scott later admitted that he had been drinking alcohol and said, “It’s Miami,” it said.
Later Thursday, he shared a photo of his mug shot, edited with sunglasses and headphones on, on his Instagram story.
Scott and Kylie Jenner, who are no longer together, share two children: Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2.
He was arrested just eight days before he’s set to start his European tour, Circus Maximus, in the Netherlands.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Rapper Travis Scott was arrested in Miami Beach early Thursday on misdemeanor charges of trespassing and public intoxication after officers say they found him at the city’s marina shouting obscenities at people on a yacht and disobeyed their order to leave.
Officers went to the marina shortly before 1 a.m. after receiving a call about people fighting on a yacht, according to a police report.
When they arrived, they found Scott, 33, standing on the dock yelling at people on the ship, the report says. Officers told him to sit down, but he kept standing back up and yelling. They could smell alcohol on his breath, the report says.
The man who called police did not want to press charges, so Scott was allowed to leave.
As he walked away, however, Scott kept turning to yell obscenities at people on the yacht. He left as a passenger in a waiting car, but returned five minutes later and ignored officers’ orders to again leave, the report says.
Officers say he then began yelling again, disturbing people in nearby boats and buildings. When officers asked if he had been drinking, he replied, “It’s Miami.” He was arrested.
Scott was released from Miami-Dade County Jail before noon after posting a $650 bond.
After his release, he posted on the social platform X, “Lol.”
His attorney, Bradford Cohen, said in a statement that Scott was “detained due to a misunderstanding.”
“There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution,” Cohen said.
Scott, one of the biggest names in hip-hop and whose birth name is Jacques Webster, has more than 100 songs that made the Billboard Hot 100 and released four singles that topped the chart: “Sicko Mode,” “Highest in the Room,” “The Scotts,” and “Franchise.”
AP AUDIO: Rapper Travis Scott arrested after Miami Beach police say he drunkenly yelled at people on a yacht
AP correspondent Margie Szaroleta reports musician Travis Scott was arrested after police say he was drunk and yelling.
He has two children with his former girlfriend, media personality and businesswoman Kylie Jenner.
This is not the first time Scott has been involved in a police investigation.
Ten people were killed in a crowd surge at Scott’s 2021 performance at his Astroworld Festival in his native Houston. Attendees were packed so tightly that many couldn’t breathe or move their arms. Those killed, who ranged in age from 9 to 27, died from compression asphyxia , which an expert likened to being crushed by a car.
Lawyers for the victims alleged in lawsuits that the deaths and hundreds of injuries at the concert were caused by negligent planning and a lack of concern over capacity and safety at the event.
Scott, promoter Live Nation, and the others who were sued have denied these claims, saying safety was their No. 1 concern. They said what happened could not have been foreseen.
The final lawsuit was settled last month.
After a police investigation , a grand jury declined to indict Scott, along with five others connected to the festival.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Rapper, singer and songwriter Travis Scott was arrested early Thursday morning in Miami Beach.
Talk show host Andy Slater was the first to report the news.
According to jail records, Scott, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster, was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 4:35 a.m.
He faces charges of trespassing after a warning and disorderly intoxication.
According to his arrest report, Scott, 33, was taken into custody at 1:17 a.m. at the Miami Beach Marina after a disturbance was reported onboard a yacht at Dock D.
Miami Beach police said the complainant told a 911 dispatcher that there were three people fighting onboard the yacht.
When officers arrived, they said they found Scott standing by the dock, yelling at people who were still onboard the yacht.
Police said officers asked Scott to sit down, and he complied but then continuously stood back up, disregarding the officers’ commands.
According to the report, officers smelled the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Scott’s breath.
Police said officers then spoke with the complainant who said he did not want to press charges, but just wanted Scott off the yacht.
A sergeant at the scene then told Scott that he needed to leave the dock or he would be arrested, authorities said.
According to the report, Scott began walking away to the boardwalk, but then kept walking backwards, yelling obscenities at the occupants on the yacht.
When he approached the vehicle that was waiting for him, he ordered one of his security guards out of the vehicle and told officers, “If he gets in the vehicle he’s gonna catch a fade” – slang for fighting, the report stated.
According to the report, Scott left the area but returned about five minutes later and began walking back toward the yacht.
Police said Scott disregarded officers’ commands to not go back to the yacht.
“Once the defendant began speaking to Sergeant Lemus, the defendant began yelling once again becoming erratic disturbing the peace of the occupants of the marina and nearby residential buildings causing a public disturbance,” the report stated. “The defendant also disregarded officers(’) warnings to not return to the Miami Beach Marina.”
Police said Scott was then taken into custody and admitted that he had been drinking alcohol, saying “It’s Miami.”
Scott submitted a $650 bond and was released from jail hours later.
He took to X, formerly Twitter, after bonding out and simply wrote “Lol.”

He later posted on X, “6 days to circus Maximus tour. For the record I’m going. Ham.”
Scott wasted no time in featuring a mugshot on a t-shirt available for sale on his website. The shirt, labeled “Free The Rage Tee,” is priced at $35 each.
He also posted his mugshot on his Instagram story, edited to show him wearing sunglasses and wearing headphones.
Scott’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, later released a statement saying, “Mr. Scott was briefly detained due to a misunderstanding . There was absolutely no physical altercation involved, and we thank the authorities for working with us towards a swift and amicable resolution.”
