NEW TOP SPEED: 58.261 KNOTS
SP80 has smashed its previous record, reaching an incredible 108 km/h (58.261 knots)—faster than the America’s Cup AC75 and the SailGP F50, the fastest sailboats on the planet. This achievement now places SP80 as the second fastest sailboat ever recorded, just behind the Vestas Sailrocket II.
With a 500m average of 48.645 knots, we’re closing in on the official WSSRC records.
Next up:
50.07 knots – Macquarie Innovation
51.36 knots – L’Hydroptère
And ultimately, 65.45 knots – Paul Larsen’s world record.
Still 16 knots to go. The chase continues!
