Talk:Ice boat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DN is actually one of the smallest (and cheapest) classes (60sqft sail vs 350 sqft sail in Class A) and it is not as fast as claimed in article.

The article on Malcolm Campbell says:

"He set his final land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah on September 3, 1935, and was the first person to drive an automobile over 300 miles per hour (301.337 mph)."

This one says:

"The stern-steerer "Debutaunte," currently being rebuilt, was holder of the official land speed record for any vehicle when she was timed over a measured mile at 143 miles per hour on the ice of Lake Winnebago WI in 1938."

Someone is off by 301-143=158 mph or so and it isn't the Campbell one.
