It's more like a lowest flying record. :D

If they hit a dolphin going 50 knots, you would know it, the boat would probably sink.

I do 50 in my sport boat all the time. Don't need the wind.

If they hit a Dolphin they could have sushi. It would slice through it like butter.

@heybuddy A sailboat can go faster than the wind speed. Aerodynamics.

[heybuddyheybuddy]

if it was going at 50 knots, the wind speed must have been ATLEAST 50 knots... WTF

This needs 'Ride of the Valkyries' in the background.
