Vestas Sailrocket
THE DAY THE
RECORD WAS SMASHED
After ten years of trying, Australian Paul Larsen's Sailrocket team has
obliterated the outright world speed
record. Seeking to better the mark set by American kiteboarder Rob Douglas of 55.65 knots in 2010, Larsen last week piloted the inclined rig hydrofoil proa Vestas SailRocket 2 to an
unofficial speed of 65.45 knots on Walvis Bay, Namibia.
That's nearly 75 mph~
Boy Howdy!
