by Victoria Fuller 7 Oct 2003 08:58 BST

Robert Miller’s 140 foot super maxi, Mari Cha IV, bettered their 24 hour distance record further at 10:28 UTC this morning. Between 10:30 UTC on Sunday 5th October and 10:28 UTC on Monday 6th November, Miller and his crew sailed an incredible 511.4 nm (to be ratified by the World Speed Sailing Council).

Mari Cha IV bettered the previous record, of 484 nm, set by John Kostecki’s Illbruck on 29th April 2002 during the Volvo Ocean Race.

Mari Cha IV is now over half way through its transatlantic record attempt and looks set to complete the voyage in well under 8 days. The existing record is 8 days, 20 hours, 55 minutes and 35 seconds, set by Bernard Stamm onboard Armour – Lux.
