Pah! A stinkpotter pretending to be environmentally friendly. Wind
power is so much cleaner than diesel (bio or not). They need to string
some rags on the that thing to be really earth loving.

Very cool boat though, I gotta say.


You forgot to compare and contrast "The current
record of 75 days..." with
"Ellen MacArthur... completed a nonstop, solo
circumnavigation of the world in 71 days, 14
hours, 18 minutes, and 33 seconds". On a
sailboat. Solo. Non-stop. http://snipurl.com/rorf
