The Fastest Boat

UPDATE FRIDAY 28th JULY 2023 (11912)
The very high air temperatures at the Test Location have produced some interesting positive and negative effects on the performances of the two Boats, and there is a detailed analysis of these phenomena on our Members' Website. The results may surprise you...

Certa Cito has completed five more Interviews with Jacqui, and all are being uploaded to the Website during the first week of August, where they can be viewed but not downloaded. The titles are:

5: "The Regulations applying to World Water Speed Records and how they are Enforced"
6: "Learning lessons from the OceanGate debacle"
7: "Rethinking the pros and cons of AI for The Fastest Boat"
8: "The next challenge for the Team"
9: "Is an EV capable of beating rocket/jet power to set the next Land Speed record?"

Members should ensure that they have checked all the details for the October Event, since our recommended Hotel choices are filling rapidly.

UPDATE FRIDAY 9th JUNE 2023  (11751)
Weather conditions were far from ideal, but all of the recent work involving on-water testing was satisfactorily completed on schedule and all performance and reliability targets were met. Great work by the Team, whose sleepless nights were highly productive and are much appreciated!

The Name Sponsor has updated their PR Proposal and a full copy of the latest edition is now on our Members' Website. Please read this carefully and let us have your comments by 25th June 2023.

Engineering work at the current Test Location has pushed back the next Test Session to early July, with dates to be confirmed.

Certa Cito has recorded a new set of four interviews with Jackie, and these are now available online. The subjects are:
1: "Our current work with CFD (Computer Fluid Dynamics)"
2: "Working with key Sponsors"
3: "Diversification and Focus"
4: "Beyond The Fastest Boat: What Is Coming Next?"

We are already planning for our next Members' Event, which is tentatively scheduled for September in central Paris. Stay tuned for full details in July!

UPDATE FRIDAY 14th APRIL 2023 (11692)

As final preparations are completed for the Members' Event in London this weekend, both boats are now on display, resplendent in their new liveries which tie in with the latest update for the Name Sponsor's marketing. The venue is completely ready for the 350 Guests who are expected. Live coverage of proceedings will begin at 0900 BST on Saturday. An edited version of all presentations, interviews and speeches will be uploaded at 1800 BST on Monday 17th April.

UPDATE FRIDAY 24th FEBRUARY 2023  (11669)

An array of new projects has been announced this month, with business activity in the Mediterranean and Caribbean for 2022 now proven to have outstripped the previous records set in 2019. The UK, France and Germany have topped the table in terms of numbers, both in value and quantity, but the real surprise was the major growth in orders for the Southern Caribbean islands, with most new Clients and Patrons being sourced from the USA.

The two Boats are now in transit to the Test location and should arrive in early March. Members should keep a close watch on the Website to check when Tests will begin.

UPDATE FRIDAY 23rd DECEMBER 2022   (11474)
 
As work on the final Test Session of 2022 comes to a successful end, the team are already engaged in the logistics preparations for the first Calibration Trial of 2023, which begins on 3rd January. This will be a high-speed session and will also be an opportunity for the testing of the new type of maximum speed measurement.

All of us at the London Atelier wish our Members and Fans the very best for the Festive Season, and a Very Happy New Year!
