PlanetSolar: it’s tomorrow, today…

What was still just a dream a few months ago will become reality on 25th February next.

Knierim Yachtbau in Kiel (Germany) will be bringing out the biggest solar-powered boat in the world. This revolutionary catamaran, 30 metres long and 16 metres wide, surmounted by more than 500m² of photovoltaic solar panels will actually be launched, before beginning full-scale tests. A European tour will then follow, from May to October 2010. Departure for the round the world trip is planned for spring 2011, in the Mediterranean.
