Vestas Sailrocket achieves 60mph through wind propulsion alone

If you're into speedboats or sailing, a new sailing boat has been created called the Vestas Sailrocket Mk.II (VSR2). What makes this particular boat so special is that it boasts a capability of reaching up to 60mph on water simply by relying on wind for propulsion. This is achieved through its design that allows the craft to lift itself out of the water and touch it by a couple of fins. What this does is that it helps to reduce drag, thus allowing the craft to travel faster.
