Hello there submariners and other interested folks:
The World Submarine Invitational 1996 submarine races ended yesterday with a few broken records!
Here's the summary of the best speed for everything that made a successful run through the 10 meter speed trap. First, congratulations to everyone who came to the event -- it's a big accomplishment just to get into the water! I must also say that I was very impressed with the way everyone helped each other out during the event. It's amazing what happens when everyone works together.
On the first day of the event, William Nicoloff set a Guiness Book record, and the one-person propellor driven IHPVA (International Human Powered Vehicle Assoc.) record of 6.7 knots in SubStandard!
The Omer crew (pilot Benoit Chabot, stoker Francois Maisonneuve) set the two person propellor driven IHPVA record at 6.5 knots.
Dr. Robert Iannello set the IHPVA one person non-propellor driven record at 0.96 knots in Sub-Lime.
(The Records are, of course, subject to confirmation by the issuing organizations.)
Sorted in order of decreasing speed:
