The boat left Basel, north of Switzerland, October 16, 2006. For this "historical" journey, the Swiss association "transatlantic21" aimed at entering the Guinness Book of records. However, the goal was first to show the potential of solar technology and to raise awareness on the possibility of solar navigation in open sea. (Xinhua/AFP) |
