The folks at PlanetSolar beat their own record for crossing the Atlantic in a solar-powered boat. TheMS Tûranor sailed 2,867 miles from Las Palmas, Spain to Marigot, St. Martin in 22 days, 12 hours and 32 minutes, cutting nearly four days from their previous record.
The last record — 26 days — was set by the Tûranor back in 2012, during its two-year-long round-the-world sail. It now resides in the Guinness Book of World Records, where PlanetSolar’s backers hope the new record will stand. It’s “currently undergoing an authorization process,” according to PlanetSolar.
