Sailrocket finally leapt into the speed sailing arena nad posted a 42.4 knot top speed during her last run In Namibia on the 27th November 2007. Visas and funding were running out. Four days earlier she was broken in half on this same stretch of beach. We worked around the clock to repair her in the slim hope that the wind would blow on our last day. Walvis bay didn't let us down and we turned a very bad situation around.
This run proved, most importantly to us, that our faith in the potential of this boat is not misguided.
