Reuters :: Japanese Sailor Powers Boat Using Waves

This is a great story about Kenichi Horie, whose original claim to fame was as the first Japanese to cross the pacific in 1962. In 2008 he will attempt a similar feat except this time he will be using a boat that is powered only by the motion of waves. A pair of wings on the front of the boat will produce power from the vertical motion.

4400 Miles in about 2 and a half months. Sounds like fun. On the other hand he's not paying for gas. -dean
