NEW SPEED RECORD SET BY JAGGI

Karin Jaggi from Switzerland is probably the most complete among female pro-windsurfers: Freestyle, wave and formula racing is not enough. She is also a speed freak!

Now Karin set a new speed record for women: 41,25 knots or 77 km/h! During the main event which was the ISA Speed Championships in Port Saint Louis/France, Karin DID IT on April 10: In 35 knots of wind, she raced along the channel of Saintes Maries de la Mer with an incredible 41,5 knot - the same channel that F2 team colleague Finian Maynard had already used when establishing the world sailing speed record against the boat "Yellow Pages" last year. Maynard also improved his own record, and is now comfortably sitting at 48,7 knots. A pity that Finian only competed against himself and not against his rivals Dunkerbeck and Albeau, as he did not let them use the channel he had rented...
Karin had missed out on the Jeep Hawaiian Pro on Maui just so that she could concentrate on the speed record. With F2-shaper Patrick Diethelm at her side - both on a professional and a more romantic level - she seems to have done the right thing: Never ever has a woman windsurfed that f*** fast!!! Congratulations, Karin!

The WSSRC has ratified the Outright World Sailing Speed Record of Finian MAYNARD (IVB) and the Outright World Women’s Sailing Speed Record of Karin YAGGI (SUI).

The WSSRC Newsletter number 90 confirmed the ratification of the two records set last Sunday 10 April on the purpose built canal at St. Maries de la Mer, France.

The Outright World Sailing Speed Record, already held by MAYNARD after he broke Simon McKEON’s (AUS) eleven year old record last November, has been improved by 1.88 knots to 48.7 knots. Onboard windsurfer F2/Naish MAYNARD covered 501 metres in just 20 seconds to break his former record and edge ever closer to the magic 50 knot barrier. He also broke the 10 sq. m Class Record.

The Outright World Women's Sailing Speed Record had stood for almost twelve year since Babethe COQUELLE (FRA) reached 40.05 knots in Tarifa in July 1993. YAGGI on F2/Arrows took 23.61 seconds to cover 501 metres reaching 41.25 knots to better COQUELLE’s speed by 1.20 knots.
