Peyron's newest maxi catamaran "Orange" set the 24 hour record last night besting 700 miles in a 703 mile run averaging 29.29 knots. With 10 people on board, they're making a bid for the transatlantic record currently held by Steve Fossett's Playstation. Rumour has it that they removed 3 tons of weight from Orange since construction finished late last year. At this point, Orange has just passed half way and is in front of the record pace but they anticipate some tricky weather ahead. Playstation galloped the last half easily staying with a weather system the whole way. It could get interesting!
