  • top speed is 126.1 mph

  • Actually, Richard Jenkins and Windjet set an *unofficial* top speed of 125 in Australia several years ago. This video was shot a few months later at Ivanpah. The best he could do was this run of 98.4mph.

    Now Richard *did* set a new land yacht record of 126.2 (ratified) at Ivanpah this year with Greenbird, a completely different craft than Windjet.

    Watch for Greenbird to challenge the ice speed record next.
