Fastnet Race-are multies really faster?

Why yes they are! Check out the lead Banque Populaire has over the closest leadbelly-speed: Rambler 17knots, Banque Populaire 30 knots!

Rambler

Rambler, the 100' mono leading the leadbellies has just lost her keel near fastnet rock. All ok-one woman airlifted to the hospital.

Banque Populaire

From SA:

Never any doubt about how stunningly quick Banque Populaire is, and now she just set a new Fastnet elapsed time record of 1 day, 8 hours, 48 minutes. Impressive
