PlanetSolar Continues

PlanetSolar has circumnavigated the world as the first solar powered boat. She has been discussed here more than once before. She is a magnificent catamaran, covered in solar panels and can sail up to 14 knots. The good news, is that she has been put to new use after being dormant for a while.

PlanetSolar went to promote the Race for Water Foundation. Read more about it at the Official Website PlanetSolar. It is good to see that such an impressive yacht is continuing.

You can follow PlanetSolar on Facebook and on YouTube you can find impressive videos from past trips.

New Name: MS Porrima

We are delighted to share with you some exciting news about the iconic solar boat, formerly known as PlanetSolar and now renamed Porrima. The catamaran has finally left Mumbai in the company of Gunter Pauli's dedicated teams. Its destination? Taiwan, where it will undergo repairs.

The Porrima, which carries a rich heritage, is preparing to return to its former splendour, thanks to the expertise and passion of its crews. We look forward to following its journey to complete restoration.

Currently MS Porrima is undergoing repairs and renovation. We are very curious to see what will come next as we will follow their trips.
