Now that's waht I call a boat...



I was sent a link to an article about a really amazing boat and this morning on my way to work I took a  small detour and there she was,
Wow that is one very impressive vessel. What do you think?





After leaving Oostende (Belgium) on August 30, the largest solar boat in the world reached London a day later, thereby bringing the campaign of scientific measurements along the Gulf Stream (PlanetSolar DeepWater) to a close. The catamaran had been transformed into a scientific platform since the month of June; the onboard team of researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) completed its collection of unprecedented data between Oostende and London. The information gathered will be analyzed at UNIGE. The ship sailed on the Thames for the first time, near the Tower Bridge, and finally moored at the West India Docks in the heart of the British city.

You can read more about it on their blog. If you’re interested go take a look.
