CLIMATE CHANGER - The above table illustrates one of the most likely ocean awareness expedition routes, known as the 'Sunshine Route,' showing the time elapsed in days for 7 knots average cruising speed, including times for 5 and 6 knot averages - allowing for 10% downtime and 36 days in ports. Hence, although the objective is to reduce the current solar circumnavigation record from 584 days, the event in not an outright non-stop yacht competition in the offshore racing sense. It remains to be seen how accurate such a prediction might be. In this table we only allowed 36 days for provisioning and PR but added a 10% contingency for servicing, that could be used for additional time in ports. As a Climate Changing event, performance is one of the main criteria, especially concerning the possibilities for a transition to low carbon shipping and the contribution this might make in combating global warming.

SYAT - Ship & Yacht Advanced Technology is a showcase of innovative maritime technologies for passenger mobility with applications on vessels (leisure, cruise, ferry) and/or infrastructures (commercial ports and marinas). Green yachting is something to consider for the future of planet earth, as global warming threatens the seas with acid oceans and melting ice caps, you can help lead a change from diesel power or bunker fuels (heavy oil) to clean electric propulsion. Meet Nelson Kay at this event, a volunteer for the Cleaner Ocean Foundation. He will be sharing our information and looking for development partners for the Elizabeth Swan. The Swan is an advanced trimaran that can cruise continuously at speeds of up to 10 knots with a top speed of up to 20 knots.
