As VESTAS SAILROCKET shows her offshore pedigree - in a 40' shipping container heading North up the Atlantic - the UK-based team are working hard on their continued quest to set the Outright World Speed Sailing record.

Firstly, let me make it clear that we as a team remain completely focused on setting the Outright World Speed Sailing record. That was our goal when we started, it is our goal now and it will be the result we have achieved before we ever consider stopping. The team is tight and as motivated as ever for the challenge that still lies ahead.

Well, it looks like it's over.

Today was officially the last day of our record attempt. the wind wasn't forecast to blow... and it didn't.

Soon we will be packing up VESTAS Sailrocket for the last time on the lawns of the Walvis Bay Yacht Club.

The rig is up again, and the sun is down. We are hoping we might just get that one awesome gust, just 20 seconds is all we want.

We will again comment when the run is over.

After a run in an average of around 22 knots, giving a 500m average of 47.15 knots on the GT-11, a number of us are sitting here in the speed hut willing the wind to blow just that little bit more. The rest of the team are back up the top of the course and the rig is going up. The sun is going down quickly... whatever happens it will be a spectacular run.
