Earthrace boat cut in half by fiesty Japanese Whalers

The Boat that previously was called Earthrace, renamed the Ady Gil has been cut in half by Japanese whaling fleet defense ships.
The story in Stuff doesn't mention the fact the boat is the old Earthrace Biodiesel boat. Here are pics after the renaming of the vessel, an old wives tale is that renaming a boat is bad luck, but meh, who knows.

The Japanese whalers who kill whales for food under the guise of research do piss me off though. I think we just found a job for the Somali Pirates ..
