Who will be the first?

Sean Langman’s WotRocket is the latest craft to join the quest to become the first to break the 50 knot mark. WotRocket, like Hydroptere have the advantage of rising above the waves which slow other competitors.

Wot Rock also looks like they will blast off the top of their rig once above a certain speed, to reduce windage. The pic above is not the full rig. An additional section will be added to the top. They are currently still in the test phase and had their second sea trials yesterday, lifting onto the foils for the first time.

These guys are testing out the front of my sailing club, so will be following it closely.
