At the Dinghy Show a couple of years ago, I dragged Andrew Perrott to meet Malcolm Barnsley the designer of Sailrocket, which was on display in the Palm Court. Just to let you know that after many mishaps and problems they finally broke the world speed record at just over 65knots. If you want to see what that looks like here is a short video of that run. Malcolm is the ‘old guy’ in the dry suit and grey beard.

And yes there is a British Moth connection Malcolm’s brother Mike and wife Mary sailed one at Weybridge SC when I was there.
