In November 2016, the World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC) offically crowned a new Cowes to Dinard monohull World Record for Phil Sharp and Class 40 Imerys. Alongside breaking the Outright Monohull Record, the WSSRC has confirmed an additional record as the fastest single- handed Channel crossing of any yacht below 60ft. Phil Sharp and his trusted team sailed 138NM at a average speed of 15.25 kts on his 40ft Monohull yacht with the help of a Lynch Electric Motor.
