Description
Captured at Ballina near the mouth of the Richmond River, Northern NSW. We just happened to be by the river at Christmas for coffee & snax & this awesome boat was a bonus. The storm brewing in the background was an extra bonus.
Earthrace is a 24m (78ft) tri-hull wavepiercer that has been designed and built specifically to get the record for a powerboat to circumnavigate the globe. She is an advanced endurance vessel, capable of submarining up to 7m (23ft) underwater as she powers across oceans. One journalist recently reported "Earthrace is like a rally car but for oceans, with her ability to handle rough seas and storm conditions at high speed."
The story of this boat is worth reading on the web site.

Sci-Fi stuff here! You really were at the right time and place. The approaching storm puts a fantastic boat into a fantastic setting. I'll have to check out the boat...the immediate thought is where does it refuel? Bill
