IF it happens it would prove that a much larger, more expensive, more complicated and more fragile boat is sometimes slightly faster than a cheap and simple alternative.
Agreed for the outright record. But a record is not the end of the story.
The multihull concept can be scaled up and the windsurfer can't. Boats of other sizes and for other uses benefit from YP/MI improvements, while an even faster windsurfer will remain stuck as a one person daysailing craft.
It'd be interesting to see a 60 ft windsurfer sailing against the ORMA 60 tris :-)
