JOIN NOWTeam New Zealand sailor Glenn Ashby joins Brendan Telfer on the show after he and his crew were successful in breaking the wind-powered land speed world record in South Australia.
Ashby piloted the land yacht named Horonuku to 222.4km/h in just 22 knots of wind on Lake Gairdner. It betters the previous record of 202.9km/h set by Britain's Richard Jenkins in 2009. Ashby talks about the process to build the craft and set the record, the benefits they get out of it outside of the record itself, and much more.
