The highest speed officially recorded for a land yacht is 202.9 km/h (126.1 mph) by Greenbird, piloted by Richard Jenkins (UK), at Ivanpah Dry Lake, Primm, Nevada, USA, on 26 March 2009.

Greenbird is contructed from carbon composites, while airflow over the vertical sails propels the craft to reach up to five times the real speed of wind on land.
