During this period of home confinement why not be entertained with information about the fastest yachts in the world.
Fastest production yachts. Able to reach top speeds of 70 knots equivalent to 80 miles per hour the Izar-built yacht has been outpacing her contenders for more than 20 years. The 98 feet long Italian-made elegant vessel packs some serious German horsepower. The fastest yacht in the world title goes to World is Not Enough - Millennium 140 this luxury 42 metre 140 superyacht has a top speed of 70 knots.
The carbon-fiber R35 is expected to hit 50 knots. Designed by Mulder Design she is brainchild of John Staluppi and John Rosatti built in 2004 by Millennium Superyachts. The AB 100 is designed to maximize interior spaces while keeping the ease of management and running costs of a small yacht.
But Vestas SailRocket also made its mark. 1 kn 12 mph or 18 kph. 55 mph while racing and speeds as high as 59 knots 109 kmh.
68 mph have been recorded. The Hobie TriFoiler was introduced and started production in 1992 as the fastest foiling sailboat its still the fastest production sailboat ever to be built to this day. When in 2012 Paul Larsons Vestas Sailrocket 2 smashed the previous record posting a new outright world record of 6554 knots they easily become the fastest.
The 15 largest fastest yachts in the world. Note the speed units. Demand for the boat dropped and production ended in 1999.
Here are the 15 fastest the vast majority being jet powered and some builders add an engine with surface propellers. She set a world speed record of 513 knots during six runs. For now the list is topped by 415 metre Foners as the worlds speediest superyacht.
