that is so cool...

Nice boat. Too bad taking into account the level of skill within the Sea Shepards they'll probably wreck fast.

Oh, and the whalers Sea Shepards are going after? They aren't doing anything illegal. Their whaling is permitted in the international rules, though I do find it immoral. The japanese are claiming they are whaling for research porposes though the meat ends up in japanese kitchens. But it is technicly legal.

Sink the Steve Irwin! And this piece of shit as well.

good luck to this awesome, high tec boat,,,,,,,,,,

such a tec boat and such a shit inside

this was such a beautiful craft its such a shame they already destroyed it

ayup.. he called it...

Greenpeace are a bunch of criminals.

Farewell to the Ady Gil (Earthrace) one of the most amazing boats ever built!
I won't be surprised if they build another one and hope they do!

The crew of the Ady Gil knew what they were getting into. They had to expect that anything was possible in the dangerous game of hunting, harassing and hindering the Japanese whaling fleet, who under the guise of "research" have an annual kill quota of ~1,000 whales. Who ever heard of a cetacean biologist killing even one of these grandest of creatures? Flouting the law in the name of pure and unadulterated greed, the perpetrators of such cruel and irresponsible acts are truly the ecoterrorists.

God speed Sea Shepherd!

The Ady Gil incident makes me want to volunteer for the Sea Shepards - go Greenpeace! So far I can only give money but actually volunteering for them should feel very rewarding!

to hell with the japaneese eat a cow and leave the whale alone there smarter than humans you kill one you kill a human there some sad ass people

i hate the fucking japaneese

I laughed so hard when i watched the clip on you tube, they guy was sarcastic saying "OOoOooO There comming, I'm SoOOoOoOoO Scarreedd" Then sitting on his boat and laughing, next thing you know hes ships wrecked and he's crying and bichin about it LOL! and now he has a 2 yr sentence in jail AhHAhah, ultra pwnd!!

..a boys 'batman' dream come through - sadly though the outcome is neither particularly nice nor super-innovative. there are video bits about suggesting that even at lower speeds the ride in her is a rather bumpy one. :)
it may be notable that the most recent 'sail around the world' record took 12 days less (48) than the 'motor around' one of this boat. so much for speed advantage.
as for using carbon fibre boats in a confrontation with japanese steel ships - it is a rather silly idea, isn't it. this isn't the way to go. communication is needed. ..political adjustments to existing quota. japanese people are open to change - especially since fukushima.
