SPEED WEEK!
by Jake on Oct.01, 2006, under Miscellaneous
The Weymouth Speedweek starts tomorrow. Everyone appears to have their eyes gazing on the 50 knot barrier. Last year, Finian Maynard (pictured below – photo Bernard Biancotto) set a new world sailing speed record at 44.03 knots on a sailboard while sailing in a specifically designed “trench” in France. There are a ton of sailboards competing, a couple of cats (a Reynolds 33 and some 40 footers), and a sprinkling of custom creations. Good luck to all!
