Here we are, direct from the first day of our first world record attempt with VESTAS Sailrocket 2.

Mike Ellison from the WSSRC is now on-site to watch over our upcoming attempts.

 Well I'm happy to say that we are back all safe and sound after going sailing on perhaps our windiest day.

 We headed across to speed-spot today with a forecast wind of 24 knots. The day was shaping up nicely.

We had a few new additions on VESTAS Sailrocket 2 with the TRIMBLE GPS that will be used for the record timing getting its first ride and the rear cockpit cover being fitted. There are many more small refinements which are finding their way onto the boat as we continue to "sharpen the blade".

 Well we have just finished doing the full assembly of VESTAS Sailrocket 2 and she now sits quietly beside us under her soft cover. Nick has finished fairing the repaired main foil and it has been fitted to the boat and the beam repair has had her first coat of undercoat in preparation for tomorrow's top-coat. 

We are pretty much ready for action.
