TRAYECTO: Valencia - Azores - Puerto Rico - Panama Canal – Manzanillo, Mexico – San Diego, USA – Hawaii – Majuro, Marshall Islands – Koror, Palau – Singapore – Cochin, India – Salalah, Oman - Suez Canal - Valencia



What makes Earthrace such an environmentally-friendly boat?
-Earthrace runs 100% biodiesel, which reduces CO2 emissions by around 78% compared with conventional diesel. It also has fewer emissions in all other categories, with the exception of NOx.
-The antifoul (underwater paint) is completely non-toxic. It’s is a wax product, rather than the iso-cyanate and heavy metal compounds favoured by most boat builders. This does, however, means the crew need to clean the hull every month or so!
-The hull shape is extremely efficient, reducing fuel consumption compared with conventional craft.
