John John Florence and co. are back for another sailing adventure out in the Pacific Blue, this time undertaking a 200 nautical mile, open water crossing on a Flying Phantom. Yep, Ocean sailing on an 18 foot foiling cat. What other reason do you need to watch?

Although it's not a sailboat, what you're looking at there is the smartest ship to ever sail. Fully autonomous, it borrows some technologies from recent developments in self-driving cars (rhymes with Desla) and a powerful Artificial Intelligence software. Named the Mayflower, she is set to undergo sea-trials and attempt a fully autonomous Atlantic crossing in 2021. She is purpose built to gather ocean condition data to better understand our changing oceans as our world warms.
