Unlucky Friday 13th crash for Vestas SailRocket and Paul Larsen

摘要

Paul Larsen and his Vestas SailRocket team left Britain at the end of January for Walvis Bay Yacht Club in Namibia, to attempt to break the Outright World Speed Record.rnOn December 3,2008, Vestas Sailrocket set a new B-Class world record of 47.36 knots over the 500-meter course. Unofficially, she is of the world's fastest boats... but still 3.21 knots short of the outright world record currently held by the kitesurfers. Larsen and his team have their sights set on the Outright Record. On March 9th, Vestas Sailrocket performed her third run of this World Record attempt.
