Vestas Sailrocket

Vestas Sailrocket

Records are there to be broken - and Vestas Sailrocket is now back in the race to become the fastest sailing boat in the world.

The boat, sponsored by Vestas and constructed by Vestas test engineer Malcolm Barnsley, is in Namibia for another assault on the outright speed sailing record.

The record is currently held by the French team Hydroptère. Their boat beat Vestas Sailrocket's previous record when reaching an average speed of 51.36 knots - 95 km/h - earlier this year.
