100 days to go, then extreme sailor Norbert Sedlacek Koch will depart for the fourth time trying to write sailing history!
On his Innovation Yachts Open60AAL, which is fully sustainable and recyclable, Norbert wants to fulfill a world's first and this means: race around the world single-handed, nonstop and without assistance through all five oceans including Arctic and Southern Ocean.
During this incredible challenge, skipper and yacht will be forced to pit their nautical prowess against heavy storms, ice, fierce oceans, loneliness and frustration during a distance of about 32.000 nautical miles!
Both demanding and dangerous, project ANT ARCTIC LAB is a serious test for all materials as well as the skipper's mind, body and soul.
Therefore, the main goals of this project are:
- Setting a new sailing world record!
- Raising environmental awareness!
- Confirming the Innovation Yachts future pointing, sustainable and fully recyclable yacht building concept!
Meet you on 15th August 2022, 10.00 a.m. CEST on the Vendée Globe ponton in Port Olona, Les Sables d'Olonne, France!
