The project led by French kiteboarder Alex Caizergues aims to break the world speed sailing record.
The goal of Moonshot #1 is to dethrone Vestas Sailrocket 2’s 2012 record set at 65.45 knots (121.21 kilometers per hour) over 500 meters in Walvis Bay, Namibia.
Moonshot #1 expects to reach 80.99 knots (150 kilometers per hour) by the end of 2022, most likely in the south of France, where Syroco has its headquarters.
