The SP80 Kiteboat has broken the 100 km/h mark, reaching a top speed of over 58 knots (108 km/h).
This new personal best makes SP80 the second-fastest sailing boat ever recorded, just behind the Vestas Sailrocket II, which hit 68.33 knots.
Although top speeds don’t count for official records, this achievement proves the boat’s potential. SP80 is faster than even the most advanced racing sailboats, including the America’s Cup AC75s and the SailGP F50s.

SP80’s next goal is to maintain these speeds over a 500-meter distance, as only the average speed over that stretch can be used to set an official world record.
