I want one! But why did he stop and go in reverse about 6 minutes into the video?

Bill:
Not sure why he did that perhaps only to test the stopping ability or may he saw something floating in the water he did not want to hit.

Amazing. I'd never heard of the Zonnebootrace. I see Victron Energy is one of the sponsors.

In North America all the media attention is on Telsa, with social media comments like "why doesn't Tesla make boats/airplanes/motorcycles/trucks ?"
