The fastest sailing ship in the world - «Hydroptere»

«Hydroptere» created by a group of French engineers, in order to show the excellent prospects of sailing means of transportation on water. After all, this sailboat can accelerate to a speed of 55, 5 knots, equivalent to 103 km / h. He did not swim in the water, and floats on it. The larger sailboat «Hydroptere» picks up speed, the higher it rises above the surface of the hydrofoil. As a result, the contact area with the body of water is reduced to a minimum of 2 square meters. Flying sailboat «Hydroptere» since its creation regularly beats another record speed on short distances, and the long. The new goal for this ship - as soon as possible to overcome the distance between Los Angeles and Honolulu, capital of Hawaii.
