"Sunrider, the boat I chose to go around
the world is a no compromise boat designed to handle the mission.
In truth, I never had any doubts about Sunrider's succeeding.
But I've always thought that in choosing a liferaft, one's
philosophy should be to select one as though you were going
to use it. For that reason, I selected a ZODIAC liferaft.
I felt that if for any reason, Sunrider didn't cross the ocean,
my ZODIAC liferaft would. In practicing for an emergency,
I liked the thoughtful design of the case - how it fits and
fastens and how easy it is to get overboard. That's important
if you ever need to use it."
Bryan PETERSON
In 1992-1994, Bryan Peterson and Sunrider (a 24 foot Zodiac®
Hurricane powered by SoyDiesel - made from soybean oil) achieved
a circumnavigation of the globe to stimulate environmental
awareness and to demonstrate the viability of non-polluting,
renewable resources. |

Specifically intended for the open
sea, the MP Open Sea liferafts exceed international
offshore yacht-racing standards. They conform to the
French Merchant Navy's specifications which demand significantly
more than most other maritime organizations: the highest
manufacturing standards and comprehensive equipment
including survival rations*.
