Mit einem Commissioner vom WSSRC dabei?

Wo steht das?

Hi All,

This is just a very brief note with more details to come - but essentially, we did it !

Macquarie Innovation powered down the Sandy Point speed course last night at an average speed of 50.43 knots. During that run, we hit a peak speed of over 100 km/hr and while the claimed average speed, which is about to be sent for ratification, will be reduced to 50.08 kts due to the tidal allowance, we have sailed our craft in excess of 50 knots.

It is the culmination of over 15 years of work by the team and their loyal group of supporters and once again, we wanted to pass on both our sincere thanks and congratulations to you for helping us to create a little piece of yachting history last night. As a result, we will be making a claim for a new class C record which will be just shy of the current outright world record (50.57 kts) held by a kite, but most importantly sets us apart as the only sailing boat in the world to complete a 50 knot run !

Once again, congratulations and many thanks for your help in getting us to our goal of 50 knots !

Regards,

Tim

Beeindruckend, endlich hat sich deren jahrelange Arbeit ausgezahlt.

Glückwünsche nach Down Under

der Rekord ist wohl gefallen!

Für einen Outright Record ist das ja zu wenig, also erneut gefallen ist nix. Den Outright Record halten ja die Kiter, fälschlicherweise!

Hier ein Video:

Und hier der neue Geschwindigkeitsrekord für windangetriebene Landfahrzeuge, über 200 km/h. Beide Rekorde scheinen am 26.03.09 gefallen zu sein:
