The first solar-powered boat to cross the Atlantic, a 45-foot catamaran named "Sun21" pulled into Miami Thursday, March 29, 2007 after a 29-day crossing. The Swiss boat uses solar cells to drive two motors and cruises at an average of five knots.

Congratulations to your boat trip to NY.
I am very interested to learn more about the technical details of the entire solar system:
Type, Square, Wp, speed, engines ect.
Thank you in advance

Solar power is everywhere and it is growing everyday. We can use it in many ways. This is another great example : )
