seabreeze, the way things are going with foils in the water, the wind and on ice, sooner or later, sailing crafts, as you picture, too, will break the 120 mph barrier.
PS. sorry, the iceboat sailing record is already: ( not me, was only8 at the time. )
"The official iceboat speed record remains the one set on Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin, way back in 1938. It was (hold your breath) 143 miles an hour." from Wikipedia.
Do bored German Witnesses take a spin on the Autobahn while in service

Oh yes - they do. At least I was one of them.
The young brothers were almost lining up for a service appointments - to drive from place A to place B via the german autobahn.
That's where my nickname comes from.
I still love it (driving on the Autobahn of corse).
Jaguar 3.8 Mk 2, A46 Fosse Way downhill. 125mph indicated, I was 16 and the passenger.
Slightly faster since but on two wheels.

To those whom did this on two wheels, I salute you!

tbn agreed, the resurrection hope helps here. . also: doing on 2 wheels in a turn but in a car.
In a V8 of course
Ford 302 panel van
More recently, in a Lotus Seven replica (Birkin) 1.6 litre toyota twin cam engine,.Bruce highway Sunshine Coast (Oz).
With a little help from Nos direct port injection. Actually clocked 250k.
However, back in the seventies just before armageddon in a 1964 EH Holden with a tricked up engine including triple 2 inch S.U. carbies. 122 mph working off the tacho. Poor old speedo's were pretty unreliable in dem days. And THAT was the FIRST time.

JTG - "in a 1964 EH Holden"

In 1971 on plains road 5 minutes from where I live now on my tweaked CB 750 K1 Honda 4 . it started shaking it's head at about 115 mph ,and thats when I knew I had to upgrade the suspension to Konis.
