Matteo Miceli on his Eco40
On board the twelve-meter yacht, the skipper wants to generate electricity from wind, water and sun and also produce his own food.
To generate electricity, Miceli has equipped his boat with solar panels, water turbines and wind turbines. The energy gained in this way should be sufficient to cook and navigate with it. The satellite phone should also be operated with it.
A vegetable patch and two chickens take care of the physical well-being. The latter specimens of their kind, obviously experienced in the open sea, do not serve as a "hidden reserve", but should lay an egg every day and arrive safe and sound.

Miceli was advised and supported in his project entitled "RomOcean World" by the Universities of Bologna and Rome. The Italian goes on the trip by his own admission "for pleasure" - by the way, he wants to draw attention with this extraordinary campaign that projects such as a circumnavigation of the world can be carried out in harmony and with respect for nature and the environment.
