200 km/h sailing record... on land


On the morning of March 26th, on the ‘dry’ Lake Ivanpah, The Ecotricity Greenbird driven by British engineer, Richard Jenkins smashed the world land speed record for wind powered vehicles. The Greenbird clocked 109 knots or 202.9 km/h, eclipsing the old, record set by Bob Schumacher in the Iron Duck in March 1999 at the same location.
