Heading for the World Sailing Speed Record 🔥
We made our first high-speed runs this summer!
The goal ? Reaching 80 knots /150 kph solely powered by the wind in 2025
⛵️ 🪁 = 🚀

Wind: 25/30 knots - Kite: 25m2 - Top Speed: 40.652 knots (75 kph) - Average speed on 500m : 35.280 knots (65 kph) Although there is no official record, our rocket is now the fastest kiteboat in the world. We’re only halfway there, and it’s already starting to feel so fast 🚀

WE ARE BACK!
Today was not about going fast.
It was about finding our feet and double-checking the modifications made during the past few months. Mostly, it was about being overjoyed to see our rocket finally back to where she belongs!

Chasing a world record dream is a challenging road. We've uncovered structural issues during maintenance & decided to hold off our navigations until we've regained full confidence in our boat.
It is very frustrating news but we won’t give up👊🏼
Thank you all for your support 🤍

First time with a 25m2 kite : ✅
The wind was not strong enough to start planing but still, what a sight!

Wind: 15/20 knots
Kite: 12m2
Speed : 5.200 knots
Goal: See our rocket sailing on her own and observe her behaviour in an easy-to-control environment
Next step: increase the kite’s size! Let’s say 25m2? 😎

The kite is on!
Our boat was moored so that we could focus on one thing only today: validating our kite steering system. But it was still the first time we saw her fully rigged, on the water. How does she look?
➡️Next step: casting off!
