EarthRace.

[MrWiggly]

 

Hi all ..

 

This boat was first spotted by Happy Dude, who managed to get a couple of quick shots of her when she was berthed up in Edinburgh earlier this year.

 

I managed to get a look around her as she paid a flying visit to the Fowey estuary in Cornwall UK, on the final leg of her European tour.

-------------------------------------------

 

With her sleek hull lines, and her massive power, the EarthRace will make any red-blooded male stop and stare. This has got to be one of the most beautiful powerboats ever built.

 

Her massive engines are designed to run on BioDiesel, which is derived from raw, and recycled, vegetable oil.(Chip Shop Waste !!)

 

Unlike convential hull designs which ride up and over a wave, the hull of the EarthRace is designed to cut through and under a wave. Thus practically eliminating the stresses that can cause hull, and crew, damage.

 

It has been reported that, whilst on speed trial, there were occasions when there was 15ft of water ON TOP of the windscreen !!

 

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz .......

Swish looking boat there. It'd be worth a pretty penny too. Nice pics Mr W.

Looks like something from Star wars, or maybe the Star ship enterprise?

 

I'd like to see it under way.

Unfortunately it left in the middle of the night .....

That's one hell of a boat that would get you to those far off wrecks in a blink!

 

But where do you stand to fish, where are the rod holders?

 

Methinks someone didn't think this one through!
