The World Sailing Speed Record is 65.45 Knots. Will this Boat Hit 80 kts? Now at 58! The SP80 Team!

What do you think of the SP80 Speed Machine and the Swiss team trying to break the World Sailing Speed Record of 65.45knots set by Paul Larsen in 2012. 🚀 ▫️ Will they break the record? What do you think? They are now at 58 knots. Comment below! ▫️ The team has a mission: to record an average speed of 80 knots (148km/h) over 500 metres powered only by the wind. They´ll need to reach a top speed of between 85 and 90 knots. ▫️ The plan is to increase the kite size step by step up to a huge 55 square metres to smash the record. They'll be sailing in Leucate in the South of France where the Tramontana blows off the Pyrenees using a kite for power and lift and a foil to keep them anchored to the water. Go SP80! ▫️ @sp80.record ▫️ #speed #80 #sailing #worldrecord
