It has been announced that the Earthrace will accompany Sea Shepherd in in its 2009-2010 operations against Japanese Whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Pete Bethune, the operator, says that an agreement was reached with Sea Shepherd for the boat to adopt a support role.[12] On 17 October 2009, the Earthrace was presented to the media with a new black paint job and re-named Ady Gil. The Sea Shepherd's owner and founder, Captain Paul Watson, says he plans to use the vessel to physically block Japanese harpoon ships.

Didn't do a great job of blocking that one, what are them people on, its not fresh air anyway, twats!
THE DAFT C**TS-the nips done the right thing-pity they didn`t run over the top of them..... 
Taken from their website:
Famed trimaran is sinking in the Southern Ocean
Six crewmembers Rescued by the Sea Shepherd Ship Bob Barker
In an unprovoked attack captured on film, the Japanese security ship Shonan Maru No. 2 deliberately rammed and caused catastrophic damage to the Sea Shepherd trimaran Ady Gil.
Six crew crewmembers, four from New Zealand, one from Australia, and one from the Netherlands were immediately rescued by the crew of the Sea Shepherd ship Bob Barker. None of the crew Ady Gil crew were injured.
The Ady Gil is believed to be sinking and chances of salvage are very grim.

I cant see how they consider biofuela to be environmentally friendly..........one of the ingredients of biodiesel is palm oil, and countries like malaysia are busy burning down their rainforests to grow the shit.
Not that I'm a tree hugger, we're burnin 3 ton o diesel a day just to keep the lights on on here

The ship is powered by two 540 horsepower Cummins Mercruiser engines that run on a low-emission animal fat and vegetable oil mix biodiesel.[2] Then in 2005, the operator underwent liposuction and converted 100 grams of his own body fat into fuel as a publicity stunt. It can also run on diesel, biodiesel or blends. To cool and provide fresh air to the engines, intakes are located on two dramatic fins.[3]
It cost $2.5 million, which was mostly funded by sponsors. When asked, "Regrets about the cost of it all?" skipper Pete Bethune replied "No...You know, I do have the coolest boat in the world."
