Vestas Technology R&D sponsors contender for world’s fastest sailing boat
Maximal use of wind power and cutting edge technology are the main reasons behind Vestas Technology R&D’s sponsorship of SailRocket.

The Vestas SailRocket Team behind this project will this year try to be the fastest sailing boat in the world being the first to go 50 knots (91.7 km/h). The unique design of the Vestas SailRocket gives maximal impact from the wind. The vessel uses around 2.2 times wind speed, so in order to go 50 knots it requires 23 knots of wind.
