Amazing new record
http://www.groupama.co.uk/latestnews...e15/cammas.asp
A 35' trimaran has just crossed the Atlantic in 4 days 4hrs - that's an average speed of over 28kts - faster than the new container ships!!!
The vessel also manage almost 800 miles over 24hrs. Top speed is about 42kts - from a sailing boat!!!

I thought it looked a hell of a lot bigger than that - bloody media - it's actually 105' - maybe they meant metres!!!

I'd like to see how they got under the bridges on the way to the 8 knot limit which starts at Wandsworth . . .
