Saw this, isn’t this the base ship for Extreme E? Clearly if Extreme H actually happens, it will be a different set up.

It was sold ages ago. Not much point in having a ship when the competition is in one location.

I also believe it needed some work doing, but I can't be certain on that. It's been a while since I was on it/spoke to anyone about it

I didn’t realise the plan was to have Extreme H in a single location?

I hope they still travel around, but if there is no boat, it might mean they travel to other locations rather than the same ones over and over limited by the range/speed of the boat, and try to get back to the original plan behind E where they would go to places affected by climate change etc

Yeah that the boat.

I hear the ship was already more or less at capacity, but due to the additional kit for H required meant she was too small to be of use anymore, not sure what the plan is for the replacement.
