TRANSATLANTIC - Was 

After many years and around 20 valiant efforts, finally a 2 meter sail driven boat made it across the Atlantic autonomously in 2018, from Newfoundland to Ireland.

The current energy autonomous (solar powered) transatlantic record holder is the Tûranor PlanetSolar, seen below. This large catamaran was manned, so not fully autonomous, but today such capability is available (virtually) off the shelf - and quite affordably. Several companies will install the equipment needed to steer the boat from waypoint to waypoint with full control via satellite, with collision avoidance equipment for artificially intelligent unmanned operation.
