Very, very bad. How fast did this boat go? Not much in the way of information..Host not up to speed on this subject..

I think the fastest racing boat goes a little over 300 mph, and the fastest monohull racing boat cracks a little over 100 mph. If this reporter isn't full of it, and he is on one of the fastest monohull racing boats in the world, then I would expect at least 95 mph. Anything less, then the headline "Travel Like A Boss: Onboard The Fastest Monohull Racing Boats In The World" would be grossly inaccurate.

Fastest Monohull would be reaching for 50MPH (not 100MPH, maybe 92KPH).

This "host" was so out of his element and unprepared, all he could do was attempt (that word chosen carefully) to add humor to cover for a really lame "report". One wonders just how much money was wasted on this bit of internet foolery? *sigh*

Who is this jerk?

I don't understand; the article stated world's fastest boat but there were not any decent shots to show it. Couldn't someone be on the boat with a camera; a boat close by on the side? etc.

pretty crummy "report"

These headline writers must get paid by the click. I sure fell for it.

The Volvo race is for sail boats, not power boats. Maybe that explains why you dont see speeds of 95 mph LOL

AHA! just in the last few minutes they chanced the headline from "Travel Like A Boss: Onboard The Fastest Monohull Racing Boats In The World" to "Travel Like A Boss: Onboard The Fastest Monohull Sailing Boats In The World". If we keep commenting, we may get the whole story yet.

Who is the moron trying to act as a captain? - He is clueless about boating.

could have been a great report on the Volvo. instead we were introduced to a never before seen member of Jackass! I'll never get that three minutes back!!!

I hope I never see his face or hear his voice again...What a waist of time! I can't believe they let this jerkwad in front of a camera much less on any kind of boat. This is by far the least informative and ill conceived "report" I think I have ever seen in my life.

I had a feeling they wouldn't post my last comment...Let's just say that this whole "report" was embarrassing on all levels!
