What this video covers

The HH88 is an 88-foot, all-carbon sailing catamaran currently undergoing sea trials before its official handover to owners Sean and Jamie.0:05 Designed by Morellian Melvin and built by Hudson Yacht Group, the vessel features a complex hydraulic system with 10 pumps to manage large-scale rigging, including Reckmann hydraulic furlers for the forestay and asymmetrical downwind sails.34:46 The yacht utilizes a high-capacity electrical system capable of charging 1,100 amps through a combination of generators, main engine alternators, and solar arrays.27:24 This setup allows for eight hours of "dead ship" operation, powering house loads like water makers and dive compressors without running generators at night.28:30 During sea trials, the vessel reached speeds of 10.4 knots in light wind conditions.18:00 The boat includes a specialized galley layout for high-volume service, a crane-equipped tender and jet ski storage system, and an air-conditioned flybridge.10:29 Captain Dave notes that despite the push-button hydraulic controls, the scale of the hardware requires constant manual attention during operation.32:28
