BVI - Earthrace

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. For those into the techy stuff, Earthrace is a 24m tri-hull wavepiercer that has been designed and built specifically to get the record for a powerboat to circumnavigate the globe. She is an advanced endurance vessel, capable of submarining up to 7m underwater as she powers across oceans. One journalist recently reported "Earthrace is like a rally car but for oceans."

Over the weekend of the 11th October 2008, Earthrace was in Leverick Bay in Virgin Gorda, BVIs. Here's some cool photos of this truely unique boat.
