SpeedDream is the brainchild of
Vlad Murnikov, a radical sailboat designer, born in Russia, now based
in the USA. Vlad was the project leader and design coordinator for FAZISI,
Russia's first-ever entry in the Whitbread Round the World Race, the
premier oceanic sailing competition in the world, now known as the Volvo
Ocean Race. In the 1989-90 Whitbread race, not only did the remarkable
FAZISI with her minimal budget and crew of novice sailors overcome impossible
odds to place 11th in a field of the world’s best yachts, she
posted the next-to- longest 24-hour run racking up the then-incredible
386 miles in a single day.
