It has been 2 yrs since we last heard about the 98-feet-lengthy photo voltaic-powered boat, which at that time was preparing because of its large journey all over the world. Well, some 19 several weeks and 37,286 miles after setting sail from Monaco, the MS Turanor PlanetSolar has finally managed to get home. The PlanetSolar broke four Guinness world records on the way, such as the all-important "first circumnavigation by photo voltaic-powered boat," also it made stops on six continents to advertise solar power. Oh, and also the team fended off Somalian pirates along the way, too. Since it features a moment to trap its breath and take in some sun rays at leisure, the MS Turanor could become a variety of things -- in the world's biggest photo voltaic battery to some "eco-friendly luxury yacht." The second option would likely befit its chichi home port.
