l'Hydroptere's record campaign in the Mediterranean ended in great style last Sunday as Alain Thebault and his ten crew smashed the record over one nautical mile, exceeding 50 knots.
An average speed of 50.17 knots (92.91km/h) over one nautical mile (1.852 km) is the new record to beat over this distance.
Alain Thébault and his crew members now have the speed records on both distances over 50 knots, that is 51.36 knots over 500 meters and 50.17 knots over one nautical mile.
Since April 2007, l'Hydroptere has continually improved the existing records over this distance.
This last record is a wonderful present for Thebault, Thierry Lombard and the whole team, as well as for their new sponsor Audemars Piguet.
