Sailor's life starts at 50 knots
Description
Good news: Malcolm Barnsley can come after all!
The Sailrocket team recently launched its second-generation high-speed sailing boat Vestas SailRocket 2 to challenge the 'Outright World Speed Sailing Record'. Since the team started with its first boat in 2002, the record has improved by almost nine knots. The team felt that the kite surfers were going to be the ones to watch. The new design has to hit speeds of up to 60 knots. Malcolm Barnsley will explain what it takes to get there.
From 5:30 PM, a dinner will be served at cost of 10 Euro for KNVTS / KIVI NIRIA members and 20 Euro for non-members when RSVP indicated by e-mail to aanmelden@knvts.nl before 6 December.
