Meet Moonshot #1, Syroco’s high-tech speed sailing craft. The project led by French kiteboarder Alex Caizergues aims to break the world speed sailing record.
The goal of Moonshot #1 is to dethrone Vestas Sailrocket 2’s 2012 record set at 65.45 knots over 500 meters in Walvis Bay, Namibia.
Moonshot #1 expects to reach 80.99 knots by the end of 2022, most likely in the south of France, where Syroco has its headquarters.
