| Abstrakt: | The article discusses the current world sailing speed record held by Paul Larsen and his team, which they achieved with a speed of 65.45 knots over 500 meters in 2012. However, this record is now under threat from two radical speed machines, SP80 and Syroco, both aiming for 80 knots using kite-based power sources. Additionally, training boats in the America's Cup and SailGP are pushing the speed limits, and Glenn Ashby, a top talent in the America's Cup. |
