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 currently running promotions in Australia, and after this she will be touring Nw 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 aspcts that affect our environmental footprint. They are also a chance for people to check out the coolest boat in thew world, and to chat with us about our adventures, some of them amazing, and some absolutely terrifying
cool design boat!!
