Three videos from the Ady Gil - Earthrace collision with Whalers

'Ady Gil'
The Carbon fibre 24 metre (78 foot) bio-diesel powered Ady Gil, formerly Earthrace, the round the world powerboat record holder tangles with the Shonan Mauru 2.

You make up your own mind.

Did Pete Bethune deliberate ram his carbon fibre powerboat into the Shonan Maru 2 or did the Japanese security vessel try to run over the anti-whalers.

Either way, we are amazed that the water cannon on the Sonan Maru 2 continued after the collision.
