    did a singlehanded crossing in a powerboat in the 30's has anybody else tried with a small power only vessel.?

    Has there been a crossing by a motorboat smaller than the 24-foot Zodiac used by Bryan Peterson two or three years ago? He powered on soy diesel fuel all the way around the planet.

    Isn't there a Japanese guy crossing the pacific in a solar powered
    boat? I remember him leaving Equidor for Japan late last year (?), but haven't heard what happened to him.

    June 27, 2009 Ralph and Robert Brown crossed the Atlantic in a 21 ft Intruder by Dream Boats. It was a flats boat without cabin or keel.

    Sailboat, yes is down under 7 ft.

    canoes, rowboats, even swimming towing a raft, but since Marin-Marie
    did a singlehanded crossing in a powerboat in the 30's has anybody else
    tried with a small power only vessel.?
