It never ceases to amaze me how fast people can get going under sail power. To quote Captain Jack Aubrey, "Gentlemen, this is the shape of the future. What an amazing modern world we live in."
The l’Hydroptère sustained 51.36 knots over 500 meters and peaked at 55.7 knots making it the fastest wind powered boat on the water. See Yachtpals for the complete story and video.
