VESTAS Sailrocket 2 sails over 40kn for the first time the day after she sailed over 30kn for the first time. The wind was 17-20kn. The pitch of the main foil had been increased in the morning to help the rear float clear the water it obviously worked. The first boat (VSR1) took 3 and a half years to get over 40kn. VESTAS Sailrocket 2 did it in 3 and a half days.

Fantastic - you must all be so proud....as a windsurfer.. I'm gutted :-) but I take my hat off to your commitment, dedication and vision !!

60 knots within a month

Incredible video. SR2 truly flies like a rocket and the stability is what makes for so much anticipation! If she handles like this at 40kn....
Barney would be so impressed!

Good luck!
I've also been there 4 weeks on the perfect wind waited and was then again pleased to be able to go home now and look forward to every day in the Wadden Sea over 40 knots on my surfboard!

Yes, Barney would be impressed and pleased that they have followed his guidlines... Get rid of the sail.... get rid of the hull.... etc!
