Speed Sailing

Interesting times at the moment in the speed sailing challenge. Kite-surfers, windsurfers, a proa and 'reverse proa' are fighting it out with the kite-surfers and windsurfers currently at the top. Despite this, Sail Rocket has just torn "a new asshole in speed sailing" (classic) and anyone who saw the video of the original prototype model should not be surprised. It'd be great to see Macquarie Innovation have a go in the next few months, it and Sail Rocket show more promise than the wind and kite surfers.
