LARGEST SOLAR BOAT READY TO SAIL

A yacht club in the northern German city of Kiel has unveiled a solar-powered multihull motorboat, which it claims is the world’s largest. The 30-metre long and 16-metre wide boat, PlantSolar, receives all its energy from 500 square metres of photovoltaic solar panels that cover almost the entire upper surface of the boat.
