Opposite is a Hart Marine build that will be attempting to
break the current speed sailing record of 46.82 knots.
In 1993 an Australian team with their yacht “Yellow Pages
Endeavour” broke the world sailing speed record at 46.52 knots
in winds of 19 – 20 knots. The same team, with a new yacht
“Macquarie Innovations” and preparations well underway, are
targeting 50 knots.
The Spring session of 2006 was highly successful for Macquarie
Innovations and was able “to run faster than she had ever run
before”. This means there are only two people in the world
that have run faster.
At this stage February/March is looking good as the next
sailing session. |
