Will Sail Rocket Break the Record?

Wednesday

Leave a Comment Written by XS Editor 2

That’s our XS Poll question for the week.  Will this high tech hydrofoil with solid wing sail faster than the current record holder held by American kite surfer, Rob Douglas? It was set in Luderitz, Namibia late last year and stands at 55.65 knots (64 mph/103 kmh).

The kite surfers are expected to return to Namibia in October this year in an effort to take the record even higher. Can Sail Rocket exceed 55.65 knots and beat the kite heads? Let us know.  Vote over there on the right hand side at our XS POLL. It’s easy and completely unscientific!

XS Poll Results Are In!

Last week’s free XS poll is done with a record number of votes!  And what did we find out about our XS readers…they like speed!  Our question was “You have one day to live. You are offered a sail on one of these boats. Which boat would you want to sail on before you die?” – The top four boats were: Banque Populaire Maxi Tri with 25%,  the AC45 Cat with 22%, the Hydroptere foiler with 19% and the VOR 70 speedster with 13%.  Even Rambler with a new keel pulled in one vote!

This weeks new XS poll asks the question – “Will capsizing in the America’s Cup events CHANGE the perception of catamarans or further say that they’re UNSAFE platforms and accidents waiting to happen?”  So will it?  Take a chance…be brave and vote your opinion over there on the right hand side. It’s free, fast, easy and your right as an XS reader!

VOTE AND BE HEARD
Looks like our XS Poll question has inspired sailors to want to sail real fast before they die.  The Maxi Tri BP is leading at 27%, the AC 45 is a close second at 21% and Hydroptere running third at 19%.  Do you agree?  If not go vote in our XS Poll over there on the right side. It’s your civic and sailing duty!
