Carbon Fiber Clad CZEERS MK1 Is The World's First Solar Speedboat - Gizmo Watch: "A bunch of students of the Delft Technical University got together to build the world’s first solar speedboat way back in 2006 and entered it in the Nuon Frisian Solar Challenge. The boat won top honours and hence, got itself funding by Rabobank. From there, there was no stopping this bunch of Dutch students who went on to found their own solar speedboat firm called CZEERS. The CZEERS MK1 Solar Speedboat, true to it’s name, has solar panels on virtually every horizontal inch of it’s sleek body. Speaking about the body, it is made up of the ultralight and ultrarigid carbon fiber. This gives a very light yet strong structure. Over and above the carbon fiber, the photovoltaic cells power the electric batteries of the boat."
