WORLD RECORD

Roger Klüh celebrated after speedboat record in Havana

APACHE STAR speedboat sets USA-Cuba world record.

On Saturday, he covered the distance in his speedboat "Apache Star" (2,750 hp) in one and a half hours, although he had to pause for a quarter of an hour on the way due to technical difficulties.

The press celebrated the record not only as a sporting achievement but also as a contribution to international understanding, one of Roger Klüh's declared goals. His father Josef Klüh (Klüh Service Management), wife Ahlem and Roger's girlfriend Coco celebrated the record-setter at the Hemingway Yacht Club.
