53.27 knots!!

Antoine Albeau does 53.27 knots! It's a new world speed record!! Woohooo... See it on Youtube.
53.27 knots
And no helmet... Occasionally I see sailors on the local racetrack going 7 knots upwind and possible 11 knots downwind on a standard 32 feet keeler - wearing helmets. It's hard not to smile when they cross my wake, hehe.
