In October, the 2011 North American Speed Sailing Invitational attracted the fastest sailors in the world to compete for $27,000 and bragging rights on the beautiful waters of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The field included multiple world record holder Alex Caizergues, the fastest women sailor Charlotte Consorti and current Outright World Record holder Rob Douglas.
This proved to the first kitesurfing speed event in North American history, the first kitesurfing speed event with port tack racing in world history, and added Martha's Vineyard as only the second venue to have produced a 50.99 knot average speed and a 55 knot maximum speed during a speed sailing competition.
