On the 18th of June, I posted about Earthrace, A powerboat that runs on Bio-Fuel and skippered by a New Zealander by the name of Peter Bethune, Ive just recently found out that they have smashed the round the world speed record, The 24,000km circumnavigation took only 60 days, 23 hours and 49 minutes which broke the previous record by 13 days, 21 hours and 9 minutes.The boat and its crew set off from Spain on April 27 in an attempt to challenge the world record that had remained unbroken since 1998, when it was set by the British boat, Cable and Wireless Adventurer.
The boat crossed the finish line in Sagunto, Spain, at 2.24pm on Friday June 27, and completed the journey using 100 percent biofuel to demonstrate and draw global attention to the potential for alternative fuel sources.
Congratulations to the team.
