Shortly afterwards, on 31 March, the largest catamaran in the world felt the lap of the water for the first time in Kiel, to the unconcealed emotion of the team which had made this moment possible.

Round the World tour in history using solar energy has made it possible to show the incredible potential of renewable energies and energy efficiency. If renewable energies can enable us to travel the globe and make a complete tour of our vast planet, then they should surely be able to support humanity both sustainably and cleanly! This world tour served as a truly optimistic communication vector to show that change is possible.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-146-10-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-146-11\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"fps-bigger panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-146-11\" ><div id=\"pgc-146-11-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-146-11-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"16\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Furthermore the PlanetSolar Round the World tour has enabled many firsts to be accomplished and many records to be set.

In 2015, it was renamed Race for Water, after the foundation that took it over. Under the command of renowned sailor G\u00e9rard d'Aboville, the catamaran sailed to raise awareness of the need to protect the seas and marine ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>Then, in 2021, it took on a new name, MS Porrima. This new chapter sees the continuation of its journey, with a mission to inspire through clean technologies and actively participate in international meetings addressing ocean-related issues, marine plastics, and technological innovations.<\/p>\n<p>The boat's purpose is to be a messenger of the potential of solar technology. Today, it continues its journey under an Asian flag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World First The boat Team Interactive map Logbook Videos Medias<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":143,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-146","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","post"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetsolar.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetsolar.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetsolar.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetsolar.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetsolar.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetsolar.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/146\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8324,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetsolar.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/146\/revisions\/8324"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetsolar.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetsolar.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
