It’s official – after today the Hydroptere is no longer the fastest sailing vessel. It’s previous record of 51.36 was broken numerous times today by Kite surfers!
2nd Lagoon Luderitz lived up to all expectations today with many new records being broken.
Scores of competitors dramatically improved on their Personal Best sailing speeds and five competitors reached 50 knots and more!
