Earthrace is in the UK


By: Tony Bristol

EARTHRACE - the New Zeland BioDiesel Wave piercing powerboat is in the UK. This thing has to be seen to be believed, its the nuts!!

Skipper Pete Bethune and his crew are on a promotional tour of the UK at present after a failed attempt this year to break Cabel and Wireless circumnavigation of the globe - but they will be making an attempt on the record again next year, estimating that they can break the current record (75 days) but as much as 10 days to bring it down to 65 day in total.

The Earthrace will be the highest-profile powerboat in the world, as well as one of the greenest. It is a showcase of environmentally friendly technologies such as low-emissions engines, non-toxic anti-foul and efficient hull design. It is also one of the coolest looking boats ever imagined.

At the moment this amazing boat is in Scotland after being in London and will be travelling on to Ireland and Wales as part of its UK tour.
