Earthrace – the coolest boat on the planet
A few days ago I have been on the coolest boat of the planet. The Earthrace !
With a 5000 watt music system and a wave-piercing hull design that allows you to pierce through the water (up to 7 meters below surface) rather than riding over the top – that sounds like serious stuff.
What is earthrace?
In June 2008, the amazing Earthrace vessel set a new world record for a powerboat to circle the globe, and she did this with 100% renewable biodiesel fuel, and a net zero carbon footprint. The voyage was over 24,000 nautical miles, and took 60 days, 23 hours and 49 minutes, smashing the old record by over two weeks.
Earthrace is one of the most eco-friendly boats ever made, running on 100% biodiesel. The team’s philosophy is that it is not just about running the right fuel, or the type of car you drive, it is about all the things you do…and by thinking a little about it, and taking small steps in the right direction, you can make a big difference. But this shouldn’t stop you from doing fantastic, exciting and amazing things in your life.
I totally agree !!
I took three full-screen QTVR panorama:
- At the berth in Picton.
- View from the deck.
- Look around the helm.
Earthrace is currently running promotions in New Zealand > Feb – Jun 2009. The aim of these tours is to connect with people , and encourage debate and understanding about biofuels, carbon footprints, and the many other aspects that affect our environmental footprint.
