Crossing the Atlantic crewless (http://www.sail-world.com/cruising/index.cfm?nid=44371&rid=11)

Suppose it might come in handy one day.

There were some boats and other vehicles (not all of them sea-based) that crossed the Pacific after Fukushima without such fancy technology :mrgreen:.

But that's just the Pacific. The Atlantic is so much more important ;)

Did you notice this was dated 2008?  I wonder how the competition turned out... ?

They seem to have competitions every year. No info on any Atlantic crossing that I can find.

That's cool, but i'd be tempted to call my entry The Flying Dutchman, or Mary Celeste. ;D

I sincerely hope they're more accurate than bomber drones...
