Introducing "Quicksilver"
THE QUEST TO GO faster on water has challenged both man and machine for centuries. Whether for trading, waging war, or simply winning a coveted trophy, the desire for higher speeds has been relentless down the ages. Modern-day challengers have a clear benchmark against which to measure their skill and ingenuity. The World Water Speed Record is the pinnacle of sporting achievement on water - a compelling contest by man and machine, played out on a backcloth of wind and wave, distance and time. The World Water Speed Record has a long and colourful history. Previous holders and challengers have included the inventor Alexander Graham Bell, soldier and adventurer "Lawrence of Arabia", and speed aces Sir Malcolm Campbell and Donald Campbell with their legendary Bluebirds. You can participate in this quest! By joining one of the two Quicksilver supporters' clubs and encouraging others to join, you can play a part in extending human accomplishment, advancing technology and flying the flag for Britain.
Australia has held the World Water Speed Record for nearly 30 years, in spite of competition from America. It is over 40 years since Britain last held this prestigious international prize. The Quicksilver project - which is a group of highly skilled volunteer specialists led by project founder Nigel Macknight - aims to break Australia's long hold on the Record and return it to Britain, where so much water-speed history has been made. The World Water Speed Record stands at 317.60 mph (511.11 kph). To achieve such high speeds, water conditions must first be near-calm and the boat itself must overcome water resistance by rising clear of the water's surface and skimming across it. Then, as the craft's speed increases, its basic design attributes must ensure safety and stability at all times. With Quicksilver, the philosophy is to use modern technology in design, construction and operation to increase safety margins substantially beyond what has been feasible in the past. Furthermore, uniquely, Quicksilver has a modular construction. No other machine in speed-record history, on either land or water, has been designed to be modified rapidly "in the field" as Quicksilver has. This modular approach will permit an on-going development programme; a step-by-step approach which emphasises safety, without detracting from the essential excitement of the challenge of going faster on water than anyone has ever gone before. continues>>>
