"The coolest-looking boat ever"

Share on social media

The Earthrace trimaran, later Ady Gil, is the coolest looking boat in the world, no doubt about it. This hellish mix of Batmobile and Stealth fighter lived as badass as she looked. She was built to break the record for circumnavigating the globe in a motorboat - and broke it, circumnavigating the globe in 61 days. Then, on behalf of the Sea Shepherd Environmental Foundation, she ploughed the seas to drive whaling ships away from whales, and eventually died on January 6, 2010, just like the cruiser «Varyag», in a heroic but unequal collision with the Japanese whaler Shonan Maru.

All in all, the life and fate of Earthrace is worthy of separate large materials - and we will definitely write about her.
