Young Norwegian boat designer Sophi Horne’s radical design, the “RaceBird,” not only breaks the mold of what a powerboat should look like, it could also set a precedent for future through-the-water propulsion.

“Inevitably, anyone using traditional composite materials is going to have to look at the environmentally superior alternatives. There will be a tipping point and one day…hopefully soon…flax and natural epoxies will be everywhere.”

Hand-in-hand with still generating a profit, these green innovations show that adaptation and fast action are key to helping the environment.
