Hoverspeed Great Britain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hoverspeed Great Britain is a 74 meter long, ocean-going catamaran built in 1990 by Incat, and owned by the UK company Hoverspeed. In 1990, she took the record for the fastest eastbound transatlantic journey held for nearly 40 years by the SS United States (see Blue Riband), making the run in 3 days 7 hours 54 minutes traveling at an average speed of 36.6 knots. The ship has later been renamed Speedrunner 1, and is now a ferry sailing the Mediterranean in the service of Sea Containers Ltd and Aegean Speed Lines.
