What about those solar-powered space-sailboats that surf the cosmic rays.
Theoretically, they could approach the speed of light, but I wouldn't want to
hit a dust particle at that speed!

basic type of particle in order to go that fast. Of course, you could just
digitize everything and create a long-range transporter, like on Star Trek).
