Here's the article about the boat when they bought it:

The bullet-proof 'Batmobile' set to wreak havoc on the Japanese whaling fleets

I guess bulletproof doesn't protect you from 100 tons of moving steel at sea.

I’ll put my money down on them running their nifty black kevlar boat into a whaler, and blaming the Japanese for the collision and associated damage. The Earthracer requires tremendous amounts of repairs each year, and has failed to find any sponsors willing to pay the huge costs associated with maintaining the hull.
The real losers, of course, will be whatever fool company is underwriting the insurance on it, who is about to write a very big check.
