PALMA 2010: A predominantly light wind regatta did not lend itself to ideal speed conditions. Despite this, a number of teams put down some impressive markers. First up were the French team of Vincent Berthed adn Sebastien Durand with a 14.9 knots. Simon Hiscocks and Simon Marks then topped that with 15.4 but it was the American team of Peeter Must and Trevor Moore that pushed the mark to just over 16 knots.
The SEIKO Speed Challenge continues during the ISAF World Cup events as well as the European Championships. There will undoubtably be many windy days before the final event at the 2012 Olympic venue in Portland, GBR.
