Real-time load measurement for the world's fastest sailing boat

Published 2010-04-15
Flying over the ocean in a boat - is it possible? Yes, the world's fastest sailing yacht, the Hydroptère trimaran, reaches speeds of up to 51.36 knots (95 km/h).

Of course, the materials used are subjected to extreme stress at these speeds. Just like the test equipment on board: 40 type digiCLIP amplifiers from HBM!

See in our video to discover how HBM measurement technology supported Hydroptère's world speed record.
