Teenager to Circumnavigate Britain in Electric Boat

18-Year-Old Harry Besley Sets Out to Break Record

Pioneering Use of Electric Propulsion in Marine Adventure

In a trailblazing environmental endeavor, 18-year-old Harry Besley from Taunton, Somerset, will embark on a remarkable journey in mid-July. He aims to circumnavigate the entire coastline of Britain in a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) powered solely by electricity, marking a significant milestone in the transition to sustainable marine transportation.

Besley's electric boat journey will not only test his physical endurance but also showcase the potential for zero-emission marine technology. As the transportation sector continues to drive decarbonization efforts, electric boats and ships are still relatively uncommon. Besley's voyage aims to inspire the development and adoption of more environmentally friendly alternatives in the maritime industry.
