Two experimental craft are pursuing the sailing speed record with very different ideas: SP80 uses a three-hull trimaran, while Syroco suspends its cabin hull above the water between a kite and an underwater hydrofoil. SP80 has since reported a 58.261-knot peak, but that is not an official record: the record is measured over 500 metres, and the World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC) must ratify a claim.
How the two designs try to go faster
Both projects replace a conventional mast-mounted sail with a large kite, but they manage the resulting forces differently. The designs and early tests described here were reported by New Atlas on October 6, 2023.
SP80: a trimaran designed to stay in contact with the water
SP80’s 10.5-metre (34.4-foot) craft is a tandem, two-person trimaran. One crew member controls the kite arm; the other steers. Its three-hull layout is intended to resist overturning forces while keeping the hulls in contact with the water.
In August 2023, the team towed the craft behind a boat on Lake Geneva at 30 knots to compare measured drag with computer-model predictions. That was a tow test, not a kite-powered record attempt. The team planned to start powered operation at modest levels and build speed incrementally.

Syroco: a suspended cabin hull and underwater foil
Syroco describes its concept as a “weightless yacht.” A kite pulls on an underwater hydrofoil through a taut line, and the cabin hull sits on that line, lifted clear of the water. The New Atlas report described early prototypes from 2021, including crane-arm testing before the use of a small kite. It identified foil cavitation and instability as engineering challenges; those descriptions are the report’s account, not independent verification.
What SP80 has achieved—and what the numbers mean
SP80 reported a peak speed of 58.261 knots (108 km/h, 67 mph) in May 2025, after optimization and two outings. The project called it a personal best and cautioned that peak speeds are not used for official world-record certification. A peak figure therefore cannot be compared directly with the official 500-metre record.

The record figure itself varies between the cited sources. New Atlas’s 2023 article gave 65.37 knots (75.23 mph, 121.06 km/h) for Paul Larsen’s 2012 run aboard Vestas Sailrocket II. SP80’s record-history page gives 65.45 knots (121.21 km/h) over 500 metres for the same sailor and craft. These should be reported with their source attribution rather than blended into a single figure.
On SP80’s record-history page, Larsen is identified as the current World Sailing Speed Record holder and is quoted: “Just like with the sound barrier, once you’re through, you’re through, and the equation for doing 100 knots or greater will have been written.” The page does not give a date for the quote.

Record attempts and campaign status
SP80 said spring 2025 weather prevented its first official record campaign from breaking the record. In a September 2025 update, it announced a new objective: attempt the world sailing speed record at Walvis Bay, Namibia, starting in September 2026.
The WSSRC’s 2025 annual report records SP80 attempts at Leucate in May and June 2026 as “no record claim.” The available source material does not establish the result of the separately announced Namibia campaign, so its outcome should not be assumed.

What counts as an official sailing speed record?
SP80’s reported peak and the record are different kinds of measurements. A peak is a maximum speed reached during a run; the record cited on the project’s history page is a 500-metre result. Certification is a further step: a speed figure is not an official record merely because a team reports it. The WSSRC’s 2026 rules page identifies that edition as current and says it supersedes earlier editions. Consult those rules for the applicable requirements; the 2023 news report is not the governing rulebook.
