Sailing Supermaxi Comanche

Last November we posted about the initials trials of Jim Clark and Kristy Hinze-Clark’s new 100’ carbon fiber speed-demon Comanche.  Intended to be the fastest monohull in the world, it lived up to that claim during this summer’s Transatlantic Race where Comanche set a new record by sailing 618.01 miles in a 24-hour period, averaging 25.75 knots, becoming the first monohull to break the 600-mile barrier. Here is a video of an interview with Ken Reid, captain of Comanche.
