Yesterday was yet another very long and busy day getting everything ready for the launch.

After 16 or so months of constant design and building. The new VESTAS SailRocket is set to be unveiled to the public for the first time on the 8th of March. The mood seems to have changed from fighting to get it out the shed to trying to hold it in!

Naturally I have been following the kite surfers latest outright world speed sailing record attempt with great interest. Yesterday they really stamped their dominance on the sport by breaking the record by the biggest single margin in the sports history.

54.1 knots is pretty impressive as it not only jumps through 60 mph but also over 100kph... so that's all the closest big round numbers dealt with then!

The last week has been a good week in the life of the VESTAS SAILROCKET. It has been made all the better by being in the company of Hydroptere and the team who sail her.
