I was pondering the outright sailing speed record that Hydroptere currently holds. I am not sure how Hydroptere's speed is calculated, but for all the other crafts (windsurfers, kiteboards, sailrocket, etc) that have attemted, they (I think) have been sailing a measured course between two fixed points and are at the mercy of whatever wind and wave conditions may exist while on the course. If Hydroptere's speed is calculated at any random set of points, this would give them a HUGE advantage. Am I right in my thinking?
