Yellow Pages Endeavour -- 46.52 knots (86.22 km/h)
The current outright sailing-speed record is held by the asymmetric
trimaran Yellow Pages Endeavour, YPE. In October 1993 Simon
McKeon and Tim Daddo sailed the YPE at 46.52 knots in
Sandy Point, Victoria, Australia. YPE was designed by Lindsay
Cunningham and is a kind of trimaran with three planing hulls connected
by beams, although two of the hulls travel along the same path. The
third hull is for the crew of two and should fly to windward in optimal conditions.
The 11 m high wing-sail is supported in the center of the beams.
The team continues to push the limits of sailing with their new boat
Maquarie Innovations to try to break 50 knots.
