......Cattelan's new record ups the ante in this 2008 edition of the month-long Lüderitz Speed Challenge, where American Rob Douglas’ 49.84 knots on the 19th September smashed the 49.09 knot world record set by windsurfer Antoine Albeau in the ‘trench’ at St Marie de la Mer in France earlier this year.

Coming into today’s event, he was struggling with an unrelated small injury, requiring him to reduce his activity. “I’ve been in bed the last three days, concentrating on what I would do today. Then I just did it,” he says. According to Cattelan, his record breaking run of today saw a maximum speed of 58 knots – 107kph – on the GPS, with an average of 54.5 knots over 200m.

Saturday promises even stronger winds, with a new milestone ahead of the competitors – the psychological barriers of 60mph and then 100kph.

.....Record broken, and broken again...and again!

Saturday, October 04, 2008, Saturday 6:03 PM

TImes still to be verified, but the record broken yesterday by Sebastien Cattelan... was broken again by Alex Caizergues with 50.6, 50.4, 50.3 and 50.1 knots!
Sebastian Cattelan on 49.9, Christophe Prin Guenon on 49.7. Rob Douglas was out on a new 5m kite, but was in the mid 40's. He's back out on a 7m kite, but maybe missed the best conditions. Times still to be verified by officials -- we'll update as soon as they're in.


cia naujiena kuri siandie praskambejo per pasauli....

Taip, atrodo kad vyksta kova kas greičiau sumuš greičio rekordą. Šaltinis sakyčiau patikimas:

Belieka sulaukti oficialaus patvirtinimo.

.....check this out!!!!!!!!!!

[Spallva]

Kiek tas knotas yra musu matavimo sistemoje km/h?

[Leninas]

1 knot = 1.852 km/h

[Spallva]

Solidus greitis virs 90km/h. Gal kas zinot kiek burlentininkai yra pasieke tuo klausimu?

[Tata]

...vyksta nereali dvikova kas laimes kaitai ar kazkoks laivas

The 50-knot barrier – the “four minute mile” of the speed sailing world – has been breached, and now the challenge is on to be the first human to sail at 100kph, and faster. l’Hydroptère achieved a peak speed of 52.6 knots on Sunday 5th October, and the kitesurf speed sailors have reached significantly more.

GPS records of the recent record-beating runs show
Rob Douglas reaching 54.3 knots,
Alexandre Caizergues 55 knots
Sebastien Cattelan hitting an astonishing 58.3 knots peak speed.

[Bobas32]

Na, nuo tokių greičių burlentės jau atsilieka. Kaitai ir tas hydrofoilas nuvarė stipriai į priekį. Kaip suprantu, jis buvo sukurtas sumušti burlenčių greičio rekordą. Ir štai siurprizas. Su kaitu gali būti dar greitesnis. Vėl jiems reikės kokių 10 metų sukonstruoti dar greitesnį laivą.

krutas avataras, gal i seima susiruosei?:)

[Bobas32]

50.57 kont. Kalba apie tokio kite greičio oficialų patvirtinimą. Apie didesnius greičius, o taip pat to hydroplano - kažkaip tylu kol kas.

[Tata]

...kaip as suprantu Bobai, oficialus WSSRC rekordas uzsiskaito tik 501m distancijoje, irengtoje pagal tam tirkus reikalavimus,
prapalukus vid greiciu auksciau duoti greiciai yra max fiksuoti GPS.

Tokiu oficialiu trasu pasaulyje yra 3-4.

taisykles skamba taip:
The Course of Half a Kilometre
1. GENERAL Rule modifications and clarifications effective 1st January 2008 are printed in red.
The purpose of these rules is to enable attempts to be made on Sailing Speed Records in any part of the world under comparable conditions. They do not form the conditions of any prize or trophy, nor are they sailing instructions.

Sailing Speed Records can only be established under the jurisdiction of the ISAF/WSSR Council, who shall appoint ISAF/WSSRC Commissioners to monitor all record attempts. Only Commissioners directly appointed by the Council shall have this authority. (See Rules 12 and 13.) Prior to any record attempt taking place the measurement of the course and timing methods must receive WSSRC approval. (See rule3)

The official language of the ISAF/WSSR Council and its Rules is English.

The record in each class shall stand until it has been exceeded by the appropriate margin. Every request to ratify a record shall be considered in time and date order. The time used for this purpose will be Universal Time Coordinated - UTC. The time the competing craft enters the course will be considered to be the time of the run.

The ISAF/WSSRC cannot accept any responsibility for personal injury or loss of life, damage to or loss of property arising from any record attempt made under its rules whether supervised by its officials or not. It is the sole and inescapable responsibility of the skipper of a craft engaged in any such record attempt to decide whether to start and, having done so, to continue the attempt.

2. RECORDS
The Outright World Sailing Speed Record will be held anywhere in the world by the skipper who establishes the fastest speed which is ratified in accordance with these Rules.

In addition, records can be established in the following sail area divisions:

10 Sq. m. Class (up to and including 10 sq.m)
A Class (from 10 sq.m up to and inc. 150 sq.ft [13.93 sq.m])
B Class (from 150 sq.ft up to and inc. 235 sq.ft [21.84 sq.m])
C Class (from 235 sq.ft up to and inc. 300 sq.ft [27.88 sq.m])
D Class (over 300 sq.ft)
and a division for Sailboard with kite sails [no area divisions]

Women's records will be recognized in all classes.

All World Records to be expressed in knots, kph and mph.
Application may be made to the WSSR Council for the ratification of National Sailing Speed Records.

3. THE COURSE
The record shall be established over a minimum of half a kilometre on water (not ice).

The course may be defined by posts and transits ashore (Transits shall not converge), or by WSSRC approved GPS survey equipment.

Effective August 2008: For every record attempt on natural courses in every class, there must be a minimum depth of water, which is defined as follows:

At the time of the run in question, the shallowest part of the course must be covered by water with a depth of at least half the static immersed beam of the craft involved or 10cm, whichever is the greater.

Guidance note: To define the depth requirement, the craft or board involved should be afloat and the widest part of the hull or hulls touching the water should be measured. In the case of a multihull, the widest hull is measured o hydrofoil if fitted. in the case of an event involving a number of competing craft, the WSSRC Commissioner can announce at the commencement of the event what the minimum depth requirement will be.

When a new venue on which no previous record attempts have taken place is proposed, application for approval must be made to the WSSRC 2 months in advance. The suitability of such a course for WSSRC approval will take into account its accessibility and the availability of a WSSRC Commissioner.

4. TIMING

A timed run is measured from the difference in the times recorded to 1/100th second at the crossing of the starting and finishing lines or by WSSRC approved GPS points.

Where the timing positions are land based, videoing, which includes an independent time display of the transits, or GPS approved survey equipment, shall be used. Requests for attempts must include full details of the timing system proposed.

In order to facilitate recognition, craft must carry clear and visible sail numbers, to the satisfaction of the timing staff and the Commissioner on duty.



The following applies when using GPS survey equipment:

1. Receiver logging rates shall be set at 10 Hertz, which results in a GPS position every 1/10th of a second

2. Record claims that include a horizontal position estimate (hpe) of greater than 0.10M (one sigma) shall not be accepted.

3. The nominated start and finish points shall be at least 500M plus the average of their two respective horizontal position estimates apart.

4. Distance and time may be interpolated between the two measured positions bracketing the 500M (plus the average hpe used in para 3 above) finishing point. The results are added to those from starting point to the first measurement point bracketing the finish point.



5. CALCULATION OF SPEED
Time shall be recorded to the nearest one hundredth of a second. The speed shall be calculated to the nearest hundredth of a knot with allowance made for the resolved component of any tidal stream and/or current on the course. A venue is not suitable for record breaking if the current is more than one knot. The stream or current shall be measured by float tests, Doppler or other means as appropriate and the results supplied to the Official Commissioner (see Rule 14).

6. MARGINS
In order to establish a new record the new elapsed time (corrected to 500 metres precisely) must improve on the existing record by a margin as follows:

a. On a course using land based transits and videorecorded timing:

Between records claimed on the same course and when the timing positions have not been moved and on equipment recording to 1/100th second, the margin is 1/50th second.

b. Between records claimed on different courses or when the timing positions have been changed, the margin is to be 1/25th second.

c. Where WSSRC approved GPS survey equipment is used, the margin is 1/100th second.

7. MANUAL POWER
A yacht shall use human power only apart from battery power for instrumentation. There is no objection to various methods of power transmission such as hydraulic, provided there is no element of power storage beyond that associated with materials in their conventional sailing application. The Commissioner should, following a record run, ensure that no means of power or stored energy has been used.

8. MEASUREMENT
In the sail area divisions, all record claimants must, immediately following a record attempt, have their sail(s) measured by a qualified Measurer in accordance with the appropriate ISAF sail area measurement instructions. The provision of a qualified measurer is the responsibility of the organizer.

9. MEANS OF PROPULSION
A yacht shall sail by using only the wind and water to increase, maintain or decrease her speed
