The world's largest solar boat is a catamaran known as Tȗranor (meaning the Master of the Sun), which is operated by the PlanetSolar Expedition. They've been roaming the oceans for a couple of years, already completing a record-breaking 18-month, 37,000-mile trip around the world last year. This year, the PlanetSolar crew is planning to track the Gulf Stream, all the way from Miami, Florida to Bergen, Norway, taking all types of water and air measurements to advance the scientific understanding of important ocean currents and its impact on the planet's climate. This week, they are, apparently, stopping in New York City and will be staying until June 20th.
