Earthrace - zero emissions and globally cool
In June 2008, the amazing Earthrace vessel 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 reocrd by over two weeks.
This remarkable boat leaves Australia from Melbourne on 1 February. The super-futuristic boat featured on today's show is open for everyone to see so feel free to come down and bring the kids!

Destiny decides who you meet in your life, but it's our heart that decides who stays in our life. - Gale, TAS
soapbox
Kurt Fearnley: I was relief teaching in Blayney when I met Kurt as a young school boy. The first thing that struck me was his smile and contagious positive outlook at all times. I see nothing has changed with this outstanding Australian. Although I never saw him again, it is a testament to the power of his personality that I have not forgotten him more than 15 years later.
