Earthrace comes to Vancouver
The Earthrace one hundred percent biodiesel boat project is the brainchild of New Zealander Pete Bethune, a former oil exploration engineer. After leaving the oil industry, while completing an MBA in Australia, Pete wrote an essay on renewable fuels. The more he got into the subject, the more he believed that renewable fuels should comprise more of our transport mix.
Around the same time, he saw a video clip of an old mono-hull landing craft with a unique design that allowed the boat to pierce through waves, rather than ride over them. He also stumbled across a website that governs world powerboat records , where he learned that the record for circumnavigation of the globe by a powerboat is 75 days.
By tying these three somewhat unrelated ideas together, Pete began exploring the possibility of breaking the world record by building his wave-piercing boat. It would be the first time that an official powerboat record would be attempted by a boat running entirely on a renewable fuel. (Biodiesel is made from cooking grease, animals fats and vegetable oils.)
