This volume brings together past and present sailing and boating records to recount adventures, mishaps, personalities and successes. After examining what qualifies as a record and what rules apply, it goes on to describe: ocean record passages from the clipper ships to Ellen McArthur; the fastest ever 500 metre run; sailing firsts; inshore speed records from kite boats, planers and foilers to powerboats; and the records that are still to be achieved.
