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

Snart har en vecka passerat ensamma ute till havs. Vad gör vi om dagarna egentligen förutom att segla, laga mat, äta mat, diska och sova? Jo vi övar på citat, berättar roliga historier och ser hur långt Erik kan räkna på 1 timme. Kommentera gärna om du vet varifrån Nils citat kommer, svaret på Oscars gåta eller hur långt du tror Erik kan räkna på en timme? Solen skiner ☀️ och vi har vind så vi seglar fram i 6knop⛵️. Vi har passerat ABC öarna (Aruba, Bonaire och Curacao) 🏖 och befinner oss nu strax norr om gränsen mellan Venezuela och Colombia. Det går bra nu och vi är snart halvvägs till Panama. Vi ska nog fira med lite glass i eftermiddag. 🍨🍦

A team faces language barriers and inexperience while executing a dangerous boat maneuver. One wrong move could lead to disaster as the boat drifts precariously. Was it all part of a plan? #boating #sailing #fail #dangerous #nearmiss
