MS TURANOR – AKA PLANETSOLAR

ROUND THE WORLD JOURNEY

We recently welcomed the largest solar-powered boat in the world, MS TÛRANOR.  She came to our hometown of Miami, FL.  As a result, she made the trip in sixteen months and nearly 30,000 miles.  The world’s largest catamaran powered by the sun is nearing the end of her epic, round-the-world odyssey. 

 

ABOUT MS TURANOR

She is a pioneer for sustainable energy technology on water.  The German-made 115-foot catamaran  is MS TÛRANOR. She is also known as yacht  PLANETSOLAR.  The yacht arrives in Monaco on May 4th – the first superyacht to circumnavigate the world on solar power alone.

 

CELEBRATION WEEKEND

A celebration weekend happens in the Hercule harbor in Monaco. After crossing the finish line, the crew, design team, builders, investors and owners will be participating in an official arrival ceremony with Swiss and Monegasque personalities. Several events support the festivities.

 

PLANETSOLAR SPECIFICATIONS

Raphaël Domjan of  Switzerland conceived PlanetSolar.  MS Tûranor’s build is from Kiel, Germany. Solar energy exclusively powers the boat.  It draws power from 537 square meters of photovoltaic panels. PlanetSolar is behind many technological advances, especially in the field of composite manufacturing and storage of solar energy.
