Fastnet Record For Volvo Veterans

Super-maxi ICAP Leopard, with a clutch of Whitbread/Volvo sailors among the crew, completed a record-breaking victory in the 2007 Fastnet Race.

The Farr-designed canting keel 100 footer crossed the line at 08:53:53 BST (Wednesday) to complete the course in 1 day 20 hours 18 minutes and 53 seconds. Leopard’s time shaved nearly nine hours off the previous monohull record set in 1999 by Ross Field’s 80ft maxi RF Yachting.
