SailRocket: Superior by Design! The future of wind powered vessels
§
In the wake of its historical outright speed sailing record, with an unbelievable run of 65.45 Kts in 2012, the SailRocket team has been back on the drawing board, designing what high-speed, offshore sailing might look like in the near future. Ten years before, conventional wisdom saw the prospect of reaching speeds nearing 50 knots by sail as utterly fanciful…Associating performance to wind energy in a unique and compelling fashion, the SailRocket story is a metaphor of innovation and leadership. Paul Larsen and his team are now looking for funding partners with vested interests in demonstrating the power of renewable energies.
