Pete Bethune: Earthrace



  • An attempt to circumnavigate the world in record time in a biodiesel powered speedboat. Skipper Pete Bethunes' dream has always been to increase awareness of the use of renewable fuels and it is important to him to reach as many young people as possible.
  • Earthrace is a 24m (78ft) tri-hull wavepiercer that has been designed and built specifically to get the record for a powerboat to circumnavigate the globe. She is an advanced endurance vessel, capable of submarining up to 7m (23ft) underwater as she powers across oceans.
