Antoine Albeau-FRA: New World Record with 53.27 kts
Спорт
Today, 02 November 2015, the wind has been much stronger than predicted and the angle has been better to be able to sail in a multiple performance speed channel with flatter water surface.
We began the day with 25-30 knots average wind speed starting the race at 12.30. From 2pm, the wind suddenly starting to increase and strongly, reaching more than 50knots in the gusts. Sand was flying and sailing down the channel started to be really challenging due to the strong sand blasts.
After a couple of runs over 50 knots, Antoine Albeau who achieved 51.66 kts 2 days ago was determined to beat his World Record ;set at the 2012 Luderitz Speed Challenge: 52.05 kts.
Antoine Albeau started to go over 51 knots and was joined by Patrik Diethelm- ITA. Just 15 minutes later, Antoine Albeau broke his world record, for the first time, achieving 52.41 kts!
Then he never stopped - and broke it 5 times: 52.50 kts - 52.76 kts - 53.1 knots and then the actual World Record which now stands at a highly impressive 53.27 kts.
ANTOINE ALBEAU today: 32 runs total - 13 runs over 52 knots - 4 runs over 53 knots - amazing!
The LUDERITZ SPEED CHANNEL, masterminded by Sebastien Cattelan, twice World Record Holder in Kitesurfing, is the true diamond of this event. He has proven to all in the world speed sailing fraternity, yet again, that his original well engineered channel (& perfect spot), combined with the famous winds of Lüderitz; smashes world and national records and takes once average speed performances to much higher levels.

Super,félicitations.
Bravo mec.
well done big man
Insane speed
Superb job by one off the "oldies" :) Now, the big question is: who will reach the 100 first? Brörn, there's a challenge!
Amazing! Going fast is what it is all about for me as well though I'm nowhere near this league haha. Something else though; Is it possibe to see this somewhere with just the footage of him surfing and making the record? I love surfing videos but I simply hate the fact that it always has to be accompanied by music .. just seeing the surfer surf and hearing the wind... the board skimming the surface... now THAT is poetry and it doesn't need anything to embellish the experience a viewer can get. Just my 2 cents..
That`s crazy..and the sail he`s using is really big for this strong wind, looks like at least 6m2 or even bigger..?
Fantastic!!!! Why doesn't Guinness show this record? They still show Antoine's record from March 2008!!
Awesome
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

You can see by judging the metres per second of speed that these runs shown here are not legitimate claims st the world record ,I still hold it at 53.7kn av sp from a real event in real speed ,, great to see you improve on youre personal record with GPS ,kind regards Perry.
