Wonder if they caught the record run in this video - looks a bit slow for 54kts. Congrats to them - it is really great to see this boat in action. Interesting to note what it takes to hit world record sailing speeds - not easy. Even the cockpit on this boat is angled to the apparent wind.
Kudos to the pilots, they have some kahunas after the last attempt / incident (where is that footage!?).
Well done guys, good to see they are going to stick around and try to increase the record. They have been hitting + 50 knots for a while now but just needed to lay down a solid run with a good start.
Imagine what they could do if they had a longer runway to work with.
Awesome machine.
