VOR – record sulle 24 ore di Ericsson 4 |
589 miglia in 24 ore mi significa 1090 kilometri, una media di 24.5 miglia l’ora. Da Trieste a Zante, da Genova a Malta in un giorno.
La notizia:
Subject to ratification, Torben Grael and his men on Ericsson 4 have shattered the 24-hour record set in the last race by ABN AMRO TWO.
At 03:55 GMT, Ericsson 4 had sailed 565 miles over the past day, to break the record. But in the hours since, Grael and his crew have kept pushing and have been adding to the total. At 07:10 GMT, the number was up to 585 miles. It had grown to 589 by 07:55.
At present, no other boats in the fleet have surpassed the old record.
