Sun21 Takes Manhattan
Would you cross the Atlantic on this thing? I dunno, it seems to lack bathrooms. But Sun21 has just completed an Atlantic crossing on pure solar power. And not that tawdry second-hand “wind” stuff, they did it with good old fashioned pv panels. Looks like they ran at about 4 knots throughout the trip. That’s not quite enough to jet ski, but it’s a pretty decent clip, on par with a sailboat.
We’ve discussed another, similar cruiser before, the form of the DSe Hybrid, pictured below. But the DSe hasn’t been built yet — it’s currently in scale model form only.
