O que este vídeo aborda

The Woy 26 is a 26-foot wooden daysailer designed by Jan Brygge, built using a vacuum-infused epoxy method over a hand-formed mold that produces a hull weighing just 1.2 tonnes.3:43 Thomas Nilsson tests the boat at Port Guinesta, Spain, recording 14 knots the previous day and logging 18–19 knots under foresail alone in heavy air during a multi-boat test where only four of twelve boats left the dock.2:54 Under a large gennaker, the boat outpaces a Safir 46 on both upwind and downwind legs. Propulsion is a retractable electric motor drawing under 1 kW, which pushes the hull to 3.2 knots to windward and 5 knots through the water at 2.8 kW — figures Nilsson calls extreme efficiency.0:40 The rig places the mast well aft with a large foresail and oversized gennaker; there are no winches at all.0:29 3D-printed components, including a turning block system weighing grams instead of kilograms, reduce weight throughout.4:01 The lifting keel allows shallow-water access.4:49 Below deck the finish is exceptional, but the interior is minimal — berths exist with mattresses, though the boat is designed primarily as a daysailer.3:56 The builders' vacuum-infused wood construction method represents a departure from traditional wooden boatbuilding.
