quote[A five-strong Swiss crew have sailed into history by completing the first solar-powered transatlantic crossing.
The Sun21 catamaran arrived in Miami late on Thursday, 117 days after leaving Seville in southern Spain.
The crew of four academics and one full-time sailor said they were trying to promote the "great potential" of solar power to combat climate change.
A similar-sized boat would have used about 72 litres of diesel every 24 hours on the same voyage.]
Cool!
Thanks, Karen!
