ScienceInFocus(@SciInFocus):$20,000. That's the entire build cost of a yacht that never needs a drop of fuel. A guy in Finland laid solar panels across the deck, wired the whole thing up, and pushed off. More than 3,000 nautical miles later, he still hasn't bought diesel. Think about what that actually buys you. No fuel stops, no range anxiety in open water, no engine bill waiting at the next marina. The sun tops him up while he moves, so the voyage ends when he decides it ends, not when the tank does. Most people drop twenty grand on a car that loses value sitting in a driveway. He bought a boat that can keep going
