Fast & Furious

The SailRocket is really phenomenal. They broke a sailing world speed record, clocking over 47 mph over 500 meters.

They then turned around and broke 52 mph...in a sail boat. Of course, they ended with a big bang of stellar proportions. Did I say sail boat? Maybe I was thinking sailplane. Check out the photos and additional info on YachtPals.com. Note that the "pilot" escaped with some bruises. The boat and Paul Larson who was at the helm, are recovering in Namibia. What's next?
