Planetsolar launch photoFrom PlanetSolar: This new stage in the PlanetSolar project promises to be one of the most outstanding. This is a new beginning for the entire PlanetSolar team. Weather permitting, the floats of the largest solar-powered catamaran in the world will touch the water for the first time on 31 March 2010 in Kiel, Northern Germany. This spectacular manoeuvre will be run by the Knierim boatyard, in charge of the PlanetSolar building. An imposing 110-metre crane will be the first to appear, lifting the 60-ton PlanetSolar out of the vast hangar. The catamaran will then be delicately placed into the Baltic Sea. In the weeks following the launch, the boat will be prepared and enter the test period.
The ship has been launched successfully.
