Lüderitz holds a remarkable distinction: the world record for speed sailing was set here. The consistent, extreme Benguela winds funnelling through the Lüderitz channel make this one of the fastest sailing venues on Earth. The annual Lüderitz Speed Challenge (October/November) attracts world-record-hunting kite surfers and speed sailors. Rob Douglas set the outright world speed sailing record of 65.45 knots (121 km/h) here in 2012.
