Earthrace is a 24m (78ft) tri-hull wavepiercer. She was visiting Napier as part of a Tour around NZ and was open to visitors! In June 2008 Earthrace 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.
It goes without saying that the above pictures were not snapped by me using my little digital 6.0 mega pixel camera.!!! These however were!
