Shooting a Rocket.

Paul, I looked again and feel elated once more. I take pride. I just made a journey through my memories starting about 2002. Malcolm's spoke of his dream as a boy and showed me the moulds that began the first realisation. At the time I think that you were mixing resin! In 2002 I knew that if the World Record could be beaten, Malcolm and his growing team would achieve that goal. I personally supported the project as much as I could, but know that in the first difficult years what little help came, was utterly crucial. In my faith and fractional support, I truly feel part of the accomplishment . I know that every facet of human ability was needed to deliver this Record. The attainment is much more than a speed Record expressed in Knots. It vindicates belief, through design, engineering, finance , logistics and the consummate faith team and the courage of it's crazy Pilot! . It shows that when belief exists, almost anything is possible. It shows that everyone with boyhood dreams can make their mark. In life we are compelled to work for income but there must be some things we do for love and for life itself. I am retired in Thailand, so I lost contact via my Companies in the Ekspan Group. Non the less I have followed progress and have always been with you all in spirit. The video is fantastic. I particularly like the Namibian word for 65Knots :- "fookinell" .........I think? Please pass my respects to Malcolm and tell him that when I swim in my pool, I have more good ideas for wave power generation LOL He may find my concepts interesting ( or funny and workable. ) I don't get the chance to sail much these days since my boat is in Holland and I live in Thailand! Maybe soon I shall be too old. I shall have to rely upon memory rather than dream. I do have a fishing boat , but its not quite the same. I intend to 'rig it' to surprise the locals. I wonder what you do now, dream of 80 knots? maybe ! Best Regards Peter Dronfield ( Ekspan)

Several incredible technologies together with incredible outcomes. Good music too!

The Sailrocket 2 achievement is an astonishing advancement in cutting-edge sailing applications and achieved speed. I dare say that there will likely never be another moment of such huge advance in the outright speed sailing record as the one we witnessed last November in Walvis Bay. This aerial footage is also spectacular and, I'm sure indicative of some good remote piloting skill.

Still love watching this over and over. What a great time that was! Was out wing foiling yesterday and thought I'd watch again. Paul you'd love some of our new Furiosa madness! Take care mate!

This is a proper use for a drone!

[@Huckaby]

Nice toy, both the camera platform and the sail boat,

Awesome !

[@jedijk]

Hi Great job guys love the shots... Could you share what exact plane was used?

[@jimthompson5686]

Just discovered Paul...when is SR3 coming?...All of what you and team did is truely awesome and inspiring... drone footage considering wind speed and the technology of drones at time is mental. At that wind speed I'm guessing flight time of drone was sub 3 min at best
