VNE on many gliders is 150kts+ (or 270kph+). Of course you wouldnt do that often as fcuks up your Lift to Drag ratio.

But gliders frequently cross the channel, Main thing is to get enough height before you leave the shore as there are no thermal producing features at sea

(I did a lot of gliding 20 years ago.)
