PlanetSolar at the celebrations for the Hafengeburtstag.
PlanetSolar, the world’s largest solar-powered boat has been sailing for two months now. It recently docked in Hamburg for the folk festival celebrations surrounding the ‘Hafengeburtstag’ – the Port’s Birthday since the opening in 1977.
As the guest of honour at the largest port festival in the world, PlanetSolar made its debut with the public on the banks of the River Elbe. Around 200,000 spectators were at the docks, exploring the catamaran to find out about the PlanetSolar project.
It’s been a busy couple of months for PlanetSolar as the team are also excited to have launched a book all about their world tour which is available to purchase online.
Polaroid sunglasses wish them good luck with the next stage of their voyage. We’re sure their sports sunglasses are proving very useful against the glare of the water!
