Fyodor Konyukhov to cross the Atlantic and Pacific aboard solar-powered catamaran
Traveller and explorer Fyodor Konyukhov intends to complete a crossing of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans on his own aboard a catamaran powered by solar energy, he announced on his website.
The designer of the 11.3-metre (a little under 40-foot) catamaran – equipped with solar models and electric panels – is Phil Morrison, who had previously designed Konyukhov’s rowboat.
