Project Goal & Design - SP80 aims to break the world sailing speed record, targeting 80 knots [1][9] - The sailboat design incorporates a triaran hull for stability and reduced drag [3] - A superventilating foil is used to maintain stability and prevent cavitation at high speeds, addressing challenges similar to the sound barrier for airplanes [5][6] - The kite sail design is inspired by paragliding, utilizing fabrics from both paragliders and sails for speed, safety, and control [7] Operational Aspects - The sailboat requires a crew of two: one to steer the boat and one to manage the kite, demanding good coordination [2][3] - Speed sailing involves sailing in a straight line as fast as possible, requiring wind coming from the shore and flat water conditions [7][8] - The team is currently sailing in the south of France, considered one of the best locations in Europe for speed sailing [8] Record & Future Applications - The current world sailing speed record is 6545% knots (approximately 75 mph) [8] - SP80 plans to explore new applications for its developed technologies in industries such as hydroelectric power, maritime shipping, and boat racing [9]
