According to the strict rules of the UIM (Union International de Motornautic in Monaco) Claas Wollschlaeger, pilot and Head of Sales and Marketing at SAY Carbon, had to control the SAY29E Runabout Carbon by two buoys attached to the beginning and end of the test track. Two high-speed cameras recorded all six runs and set the start and finish times. The individual images were disassembled and the time superimposed, so that the UIM determined an exact measurement result with four digits after the comma.

Such a measurement has never been given in the class “Electric powered production boats 8-10 m). The attempt has been extensively documented and is now evaluated by the commission of the UIM before the “Uim world certification of speed” is issued. The route is ¼ mile long (463 meters) and the top registered speed was of 95.0 km / h, with an average speed of 89 km / h.
