Vestas Sailrocket 2 smadrer rekorder

Bare seks dage efter Paul Larsen i Vestas Sailrocket 2 satte verdenshastighedsrekord i Walvis Bay, Namibia, med forbehold for bekræftelse i WSSRC, har han nu sejlet en 500 meter rute med en gennemsnitlig hastighed på 65,42 knob, eller 121,21 kilometer i timen.

Det er tæt på ti knob hurtigere end den tidligere rekord sat af kiteboarder Rob Douglas på 55,65 knob - en rekord, der stod i to år. I lidt over en uge har Sailrocket 2 forbedret denne rekord tre gange.

Sailrocket 2 toppede ved 68 knob under rekordforsøget, der foregik ved vindhastigheder mellem 27 og 32 knob.

Vestas Sailrocket 2 slog også rekorden på en sømil med en hastighed på 55,32 knob. Den tidligere rekord tilhørte Hydroptère med Franskmanden Alain Thebauld som skipper. Denne rekord var sat i 2009 og lød på 50,17 knob.

Det er første gang en sejlbåd har gennemført 500-meter ruten med en hastighed på mere end 60 knob. Desuden var det første gang, at Sailrocket 2 kom over 50 knob på sømiledistancen.
