The World’s Fastest Sailboat

For some sailors, it’s not just about freedom – it’s about speed. The fastest sailboat in the world is Vestas Sailrocket 2, which set the official world record in 2012 with a speed of 65.45 knots (121 km/h) in Namibia.

Using an innovative design with an aerodynamic wing sail and asymmetric hull, it literally skimmed above the water, breaking all previous records.

Modern foiling yachts like those in the America’s Cup now reach over 50 knots, combining design and technology to “fly” over the waves.

You might not find Sailrocket 2 on Ship O´Hoi, but you can still experience the thrill of the wind and the sea. Rent a sailboat or catamaran – with or without a skipper – and feel the freedom of true sailing.

👉 Discover the sea your way with Ship O´Hoi – wind, speed, and adventure await.
