A huge congratulations to our partners at ZEPHIR PROJECT by Antoine Albeau & Marc Amerigo! ⛵ Antoine Albeau has set a new world record for the nautical mile, reaching an incredible average speed of 44.97 knots (83.3 km/h) over 1,853 metres during the #PrinceOfSpeed 2026. This milestone is the culmination of five years of continuous development, bringing together prototype technologies and real-world experimentation to push the limits of high-speed sailing. Throughout this journey, ALTEN engineers have proudly supported the team, transforming performance data into engineering insights to drive sustainable innovation on and beyond the water. Congratulations to Antoine, Marc, Pierre and the entire Zephir team on this outstanding achievement! World record claimed and submitted for official WSSRC ratification.
