Open For Record Attempts

The new website of the ISAF/World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC) was launched today. The new website has all the official World Sailing Speed Records.

Sir Peter Johnson, Chairman WSSRC, writes:

The website will carry authoritative and accurate news on the latest sailing speed records as ratified by WSSRC and the complte list of offshore passage numbers (times, speeds, distances) listed with boats, skippers, nationalities and other details.

Also to be found there will be extracts of the current rules for record breaking at 500 metres, the one nautical mile leg, 24-hour distance run, as well as the offshore routes. For would-be record breakers and other sailors there is a direct contact facility with the full time Secretariat of WSSRC.
