    Yesterday evening I discovered and watched these two nice videos:

    1985 Virgin Atlantic Challenger - The Failed Attempt


    1986 Virgin Atlantic Challenger II - Making the Record


    Enjoy!

    The boat has been in mothballs for many years in Palma de Mallorca. This spring a new owner took over, cleaned it up and I guess you will see more sprint attempts
