REPLAY L'INSOLITE ► à 2h de route de #Toulouse, dans l'Aude, une équipe franco-suisse va tenter de battre le record du monde à la voile @leucatetourisme @InfoLeucate @dansle11 @SP80_record l.francebleu.fr/tDM2

À Port-Leucate, un prototype de bateau pourrait battre le record du monde de vitesse

Dans l'Aude, une équipe franco-suisse tentera au printemps de battre le record de vitesse à la voile au printemps 2025. Leur prototype, un espèce d'appareil à la James Bond, est amarré à Port-Leucate.

Wind: 25/30 knots - Kite: 25m2 - Top Speed: 40.652 knots (75 kph) - Average speed on 500m : 35.280 knots (65 kph) Although there is no official record, our rocket is now the fastest kiteboat in the world. We’re only halfway there, and it’s already starting to feel so fast 🚀

WE ARE BACK! Today was not about going fast. It was about finding our feet and double-checking the modifications made during the past few months. Mostly, it was about being overjoyed to see our rocket finally back to where she belongs! #sp80 #NeverGiveUp #passion #sailing #speed

Chasing a world record dream is a challenging road. We've uncovered structural issues during maintenance & decided to hold off our navigations until we've regained full confidence in our boat. It is very frustrating news but we won’t give up👊🏼 Thank you all for your support 🤍

First time with a 25m2 kite : ✅ The wind was not strong enough to start planing but still, what a sight! #SP80 #Worldrecord #sailing #passion

We received our first custom-made kite! Size: 25m2 We couldn’t wait and went straight to the beach for a test session. To test this kite on the boat, we’ll have to be patient until our next navigation campaign starting in a couple of weeks. We can’t wait! #SP80 #speed #record

Wind: 15/20 knots Kite: 12m2 Speed : 5.200 knots Goal: See our rocket sailing on her own and observe her behaviour in an easy-to-control environment Next step: increase the kite’s size! Let’s say 25m2? 😎 #SP80 #Worldrecord #Sailing #speed #firsttime

What a thrill to finally see our record boat sailing on her own! Sure, there is still a long way to go and we know it. But the past few weeks have been full of very special moments to live as a team ✨ #SP80 #World #Sailing #Speed #Record

The kite is on! Our boat was moored so that we could focus on one thing only today:  validating our kite steering system. But it was still the first time we saw her fully rigged, on the water. How does she look? ➡️Next step: casting off! #Sp80 #worldrecord #sailing #kite
