Dennis Klaaijsen did a massive 742 km yesterday on the grevelingenmeer! The official distance will be a bit less but his own world record is certainly broken!https://www.facebook.com/Ned192?ref=ts&fref=ts
This is the news report of last year:
Incredible effort - that's the equivalent of doing 20knot hours for 20 hours straight.
No doubt Kato will be planning his next assault.
Amazing effort, that's going to be hard to beat! I guess one day someone will do 24 hrs?
Incredible achievement.
If we could only see the track on KA72 will be fantastic and replay on Google map ( speed up of course 
)
All this happen somewhere here. Look like they had nice flat water. I wonder how deep it was...
Next. Two of three GPSs stalled 
. I can't imagine sadness if all three could go broke and such effort wasted.
We give you Kato all our GPSs for the trip just in case !
mind boggling.
My PB is about one tenth of that.
I wonder how many hours of daylight there were?

Anita,
Netherlands is currently getting about a day length of 14h 42m 34s 
with I suspect a pretty decent twilight both sides of dusk and dawn. It is quite incredible to think someone can sail that distance in a 24 hour window.
Brian, we are over in Lake Garda at the moment and it is light for about 16 hours a day, seem some guys going out for a sail last night at 8.15 pm.
It's a bit early to judge a new distance record yet. Arnald De rosnay departed in the 80s and still hasn't gotten back so I think the record should be eternally his.
He started around 19h45 in the evening and sailed all night long if I remember correctly. He even sailed more then 24 hrs to be sure.
