Record. Broken.
The British speed sailing craft Vestas Sailrocket piloted by Australian Paul Larsen has become the worlds fastest sailing ‘boat’ by attaining an average speed over the 500 meter record course of 47.4 knots*. On the following run whilst on target for the Outright world record it literally took off and performed the full ‘Donald Campbell’ in equally spectacular form flying over 30’ in the air upside down.
