21 sails with 2300 m² of surface
12 supplementary sails .
Total sails : 33 Looks like only about 19 sails are visible. The other sails are completely hidden. How many do you count? 19 sails is still good enough for the lead. |

Hey Dorado, what is that boat? (for all you "squids" out there  ). All I could get was it travelled on Armstrong tires and seems like the sailors "vaped"?  |

@Crazyb0, I have no idea what your last comment means. I'm assuming he's referring to the Armstrong (rapid fire) cannon and 1800HP auxiliary engine that uses "vapor" (so you could say they vaped). |
