World Speed Sailing Records
The WSSR (World Speed Sailing Record Council) have today ratified two new world records set by l’Hydroptere.
The overall 500m record is now an amazing 51.36 knots, and the 1 nautical mile record is 48.74knots. Amazing stuff. The records were set on Sept 4th in a 28 knot wind. The tri-maran built specifically to challenge for the world record reached a top speed of 55.5 knots!
