A New Top Speed for the SP80 team trying to beat the World Sailing Speed Record! What was it? Watch the reel to find out. ▫️ Join the quest at @sp80record ▫️ "The foil is key to breaking the record" - explains Benoît Gaudiot, COO and SP80 kite pilot. “We wanted to quickly test a simplified version on the water and learn as much as possible before finalizing the design of the record foil, which is more complex and costly to produce."  ▫️ "Now that we have data from the boat at high speeds, we can refine our simulations and launch the production of the final foil with much more information than we had a few months ago!” ▫️ The boat will return to the shipyard in September to improve safety systems around the pilots and integrate the new foil. The initial goal is to break the 55-knot barrier (100 km/h) between October and December. ▫️ The team aims to make an first official record attempt before the summer of 2025. ▫️ #world #sailing #speed #record

A short and sweet little clip of some of the go pro footage we captured at the poor knights marine reserve in NZ this week. We have taken some time off video editing lately to concentrate on boat maintenance, work to save some pennies and take a little break to enjoy NZ without cameras. However this was just too special not to share. Being able to access unique places that you can only get to by water is part of what makes the Roam adventure so special. We had the pleasure of taking our new Crew members Sam and Estelle, to the poor knights Islands marine reserve where we anchored over night and were lucky to have some nice conditions for a spot of free diving. A very different experience to the snorkeling scenery in the tropics with cold water fish species, soft corals and kelps. The abundance of sea life in these protected waters is something really special. It clearly shows what the oceans would be like without human impact. Hope you enjoy - Liss
