The first event counting towards the german speed championship kicks off this weekend on the island of Ruegen. Although only 5-7 beaufort forecasted, everybody wants to hit the water after a long windless period. More details are available at 
That 50 knot barrier is still the subject on plenty of people’s lips at the moment as our colleague kitesurfers get back into serious action ! At Luderitz in Namibia last September at the first ever Luderitz Speed Challenge, these guys set the timing systems on fire with a new women’s world record (Sjoukje Bredenkamp with 42.35 knots) and above all Alex Caizergues’ superb performance of 47.92 knots.
l’Hydroptère team is finishing the assembly of the record contender with a launching scheduled for next week.
Wot Rocket is half sailboat and half sailplane; a nine metre long canoe style hull with two tiny foils, each about a sixth of the size of a Moth foil and a nine metre rigid sail, then a transverse beam out to an aerodynamic twin pod crew compartment. It is built entirely from carbon fibre and weighs approximately 400 kilos. The countdown to Australia's attempt to reclaim the 500m world speed sailing record last held in 1993 will begin this week with a Wot Rocket crew safety drill before on-water trials commence on Botany Bay next week.
