The Earthrace
is a high-tech speedcraft on its way to breaking the round-the-world
speed record. Hell-bent on creating a net-zero carbon footprint to
prove that earth-friendly high-power boats are possible, the 24 meter
boat is lubricated with vegetable oils, the bedding foams are made from
canola oils, and the crew sups on organic and local foods as they race
around the world, trying to beat the 75 day record set 10 years ago. And the Earthrace is
run, in part, on human fat.
