Default PlanetSolar Boat: First Around-the-World Solar Sail?

Looks interesting. I still think it's way to impractical to use
commercially, but it seems they're trying to do something with solar
power.

I like the universal statement: "Future generations are looking to us;
our choices will mark the future of humanity. "

I read that the Planetary Society is going to launch four crafts that will
use the Sun's energy to sail in space. That's cool.
