After the two events held in Fuerteventura, the All Time World Ranking, based on the best WSSRC approved speeds, has been published. 495 sailors have been taking part in official record attempts since 2002, still counting. What has been an exclusive 40 knot club two years ago with 36 riders, has now almost doubled to 71 sailors over the magical 40 knot mark. This clearly shows how fast the development is, with new equipment available and new discovered spots like Soutend and Luderitz.
Leader of the pack is Antoine Albeau ahead of Finian Maynard from St. Maries de la Mer, and then Alex Caizergues, Manu Taub and Sebastien Cattelan from Luderitz.
