Macquarie Speed Sailing at Sandy Point Australia

Not the sort of thing to go for a cruise around the lake in, unless you are in a hurry and not planing a return trip

Wonder if they caught the record run in this video - looks a bit slow for 54kts. Congrats to them - it is really great to see this boat in action. Interesting to note what it takes to hit world record sailing speeds - not easy. Even the cockpit on this boat is angled to the apparent wind.

Kudos to the pilots, they have some kahunas after the last attempt / incident (where is that footage!?).

if it can only sail in one direction do they have to pick it up and carry it back to the beginning when it runs out of water?
