Found a neat little vid of the speed sailing championship. These guys are flying around the water at almost 40 knots. That is extreme! The world record holder Finian Maynard is there doing his best to fend off the competition. He holds the world record at 48.70 knots from 2005 at the French trench. When will he break the 50 knot barrier??? The video is here.
Nice clip! All I can think about when I see these runs is "if you get catapulted your neck will break!"
ReplyDeleteThese guys are flying.
