Editor’s Note: Greening Gently
Boating started out green. Sailboats didn’t have motors and while galley slaves may have tossed their food scraps over the side, that was about it. More recently, outboards and diesels came along and while initially they were smoggy and leaked petrochemicals into the water, they evolved into being inoffensive. Certainly, their impact was minor compared to commercial shipping, leaking urban manufacturing and sewage and plastic detritus that people tossed into the environment.

116 mph run makes the VisionS2 the fastest electric boat in the world
Just back from Lake of the Ozarks where two weekends ago Montreal’s Vision Marine complete two runs and set a new world speed record for electric boats. The first run achieved 111mph breaking Vision’s previous record of 106. The second set a new record of 116! The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout is the largest unsanctioned boat race in the US and caters to many classes. Vision’s S2 turned a lot of heads and achieved amazing speed.

Sail GP: Canada Faces Challenges, NZ Explodes in Saint-Tropez
The European portion of SailGP Season 4 got underway this weekend in Saint-Tropez, France. Having hit record breaking speeds last year on the Côte d’Azur, Phil Robertson and the Canadians were looking forward to this weekend of racing, but things did not turn out as hoped. A penalty in the pre-start of race one was a precursor of what was to come, and it proved difficult for the team to recover. A collision with Spain early on in race one set the team back and translated into eight penalty points for the event and an additional four penalty points for the season.
