The World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC) was founded in 1972, initially to ratify records at the inaugural held every year since in Portland Harbor.The WSSRC is the body authorized by the World Sailing (formerly International Sailing Federation, International Yacht Racing Union) to confirm speed records of sailing craft (boats, windsurfers and kitesurfers ) on water (not on ice or land). In the early years the council only dealt with claims of speed records on a one-way leg of 500 metres. Since 1988 the WSSRC is also responsible for offshore sailing records, because there were several controversial claims about the times of long voyages. The first records recorded in 1972 were the Outright record of Sir Timothy Colman, Crossbow, 26.30 knots (D class); Icarus 21.6 knots (B class); Ma

  • Der World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC) ist die Körperschaft, die Segelrekorde zu Wasser durch Boote, Katamarane, Trimarane, mit Windsurfen oder Kitesurfen bestätigt (nicht auf Eis und nicht an Land). Das WSSRC wurde 1972 durch die International Sailing Federation (ISAF, vorher International Yacht Racing Union, IYRU, seit 2015 World Sailing – A Sport for Life) gegründet. Es beschränkte sich anfangs darauf, nur Streckenrekorde für 500 Meter in einer Richtung zu behandeln. Hingegen ist es seit 1988 auch für Offshore-Segelrekorde zuständig. (de)

  • Der World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC) ist die Körperschaft, die Segelrekorde zu Wasser durch Boote, Katamarane, Trimarane, mit Windsurfen oder Kitesurfen bestätigt (nicht auf Eis und nicht an Land). Das WSSRC wurde 1972 durch die International Sailing Federation (ISAF, vorher International Yacht Racing Union, IYRU, seit 2015 World Sailing – A Sport for Life) gegründet. Es beschränkte sich anfangs darauf, nur Streckenrekorde für 500 Meter in einer Richtung zu behandeln. Hingegen ist es seit 1988 auch für Offshore-Segelrekorde zuständig. Seit 2001 ist im WSSRC ein ständiges Sekretariat eingerichtet. Mitglieder des Expertenrats kommen aus Australien, Frankreich, Großbritannien und den Vereinigten Staaten und treffen sich ein- bis zweimal pro Jahr. Die Rekordhalter und ihre Zeiten werden für Rekorde aufgelistet, die den Regeln des WSSRC entsprechen. Außerdem stellt der WSSRC auch Zertifikate für Segler aus, die – auch ohne einen Rekord zu brechen – offiziell die Zeit auf einer festgelegten Strecke gemessen bekommen wollen. (de)

One or more meetings were held every year and since 2001 the council has had a permanent secretariat. Members of the expert council from Australia, France, Great Britain and the U.S. assess record claims. Record holders and their times are listed. WSSRC also issues Performance Certificates to sailors who wish to be officially timed over accepted courses without breaking records. (en)
