SUPPLIERS OF MATERIALS PARTS AND MARINE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES TO THE ELIZABETH SWANN YACHT

PlanetSolar heading out into uncharted technical waters. The theory was in place, but nobody knew if this solar powered boat could make it. But they did!

Only the best materials, equipment and services will do for a yacht that is designed to attempt to beat the world water speed record for solar and wind powered, electrically propelled vessels.

PLEASE NOTE - We do not need all of the above boxes to be ticked. Simply enough to be able to complete the project - where ordinarily much of that listed may be available off the shelf. There are though identified opportunities for specialist suppliers to become part of the project and to get listed. Listing will not take place until the project goes live in April 2021, or as soon as we are sufficiently funded to get under way.

The Cleaner Ocean Foundation works to help protect the "seven seas" from the effects of anthropogenic atmospheric pollution like this ship that is belching diesel fumes like there is no tomorrow. We'd like to preserve tomorrow for our children. You can help us to make this scene a thing of the past.
