Earthrace Kicks Off!

London and Sagunto, Spain: Earthrace, the world’s fastest, coolest and greenest powerboat kicks off its round-the-world race on April 25 in an attempt to break the world record and promote the use of sustainable fuels.

Earthrace is an incredible 78-ft wave-piercing trimaran that runs exclusively on biodiesel, and has a net zero carbon footprint, making it one of the world’s most environmentally-friendly powerboats.

The skipper and crew will blast off from the port of Sagunto, Spain, before crossing the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans as they thunder around the planet’s circumference at a maximum speed of 40 knots.

From Sagunto, Earthrace will head east to the Azores, where it will stop for refuelling before heading to Puerto Rico. You can keep up-to-date with the crew’s progress via the website at www.earthrace.net.
