The Ferry Dock at Road Town Tortola was a buzz of activities this morning when the world’s fastest eco-boat, Earthrace arrived for a day’s visit.
Earthrace, which runs on 100% biodiesel, is the first boat in the world to use hemp composite. This is visible on the floor of the helm. Hemp is renewable, unlike carbon and Kevlar, and is strong and versatile enough for medium impact protection.
Earthrace has smashed the world speed record for a powerboat to circumnavigate the globe, completing the journey in 60 days, 23 hours 49 mins, and knocking almost 14 days off the previous record.
"Awesome! "
