A solar-powered yacht just successfully crossed 3,000 nautical miles without using a single drop of fuel.
Lukas Sjoman has turned the dream of perpetual, fuel-free ocean travel into reality with his self-built 11-meter yacht, the Helios 11. Cruising along Europe's scenic coastlines, Sjoman recently crossed a major milestone by logging over 3,000 nautical miles entirely on solar power.
Unlike commercial electric yachts that require frequent, expensive dock charges, this DIY vessel relies on ten standard residential rooftop solar panels feeding a 24kWh battery. The system generates up to 4,000 watts of peak sunlight energy, enough to power its 6kW electric outboard motor and even recharge the batteries to full while anchored.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is its accessibility; Sjoman constructed the entire yacht for an estimated $20,724.
By breaking down the costs—including roughly $2,881 for the battery pack, $4,600 for the electric motor, and under $900 for the solar panels—he hopes to inspire a new generation of eco-conscious boaters.
The vessel's ultra-shallow half-meter draft also allows it to navigate secluded shallow anchorages untouched by larger yachts, proving that sustainable, off-grid marine adventure is both highly practical and incredibly affordable.

Here’s retired US colonel Douglas Macgregor, former Senior Advisor to the United States Secretary of Defense talking way more strategic common sense on the Iran war than anything uttered by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth:
“People are going to lose trillions in wealth. It will be a disaster, and it’s not something we’ll recover from. We’ve thrown all caution to the wind. Think of any number of worst-case scenarios, they are on the horizon. President Trump is still president of the United States, not president of Israel. He has to think about the consequences here at home for us for the average man, not for the billionaire class, not the Epstein class.”
This 2003 speech at the University of Nebraska is by far one of my favorites from Warren Buffett
You will get more value out of this than from reading 90% of books on investing
Worth listening and re-listening to
Final takeaway:
Munger's core insight:
"You can know these psychological tendencies and avoid being the patsy of all the people trying to manipulate you to your disadvantage."
His method:
• Study the 24 tendencies
• Watch for combinations
• Pay extra attention to disconfirming evidence
• Create systems that make good behavior easy
"It's not given to human beings to have such talent that they can just know everything. But it is given to us to keep learning."
Buffett and Munger just gave away 100 years of investing wisdom for free.
This is the exact compounding blueprint that built a $1 Trillion empire.
