Although speed sailing provided a great environment to demonstrate both the innovative concepts and the teams potential, the next challenge should be to demonstrate its practical application.
There can be no better evidence to prove that this has been the biggest step forward for speed sailing over the 500m course since records began in the early 1970s.
Speed sailing windsurfers have an apparent wind angle somewhat worse (greater) than 30 degrees, and accordingly their speed sailing courses are set for a broader sailing angle than this.
