ICAP Leopard, the 100 foot super maxi yacht owned by Mike Slade, is currently on course to break the transatlantic speed record this evening. Having crossed the official start line off Ambrose Light, New York, at 00:01 GMT on Tuesday 27th May, ICAP Leopard must complete her 2,925 nautical mile crossing by 03:30 GMT on Wednesday 4th June, in order to break the current record held by Phocea. Having negotiated icebergs, freezing sea temperatures and sleeping whales thus far, ICAP Leopard looks set to smash the record which has stood for the last 20 years; a second record for the Farr designed maxi yacht, which broke the Rolex Fastnet Race Record last year.
