Earthrace : BioFuel Powerboat Racing Around the Globe

Earthrace is all about an attempt to break the world record for racing the globe in a renewable fuel powered powerboat. Earthrace is docked at San Francisco now.

Earthrace is a bid to break the world record for circumnavigating the globe in a powerboat, and using only renewable fuels. The program includes an 18-month tour calling at 60 of the worlds great cities, promoting fuels like biodiesel, and raising awareness about sustainable use of resources.

The top powerboat challenge of 24,000 nautical miles is the world’s longest race. The current record of 75 days was set by British boat Cable & Wireless in 1998 and the Earthrace aims to break this record by completing the voyage in less than 65 days and using renewable fuel only.
