Sustainable Project

A challenge of this nature is multi faceted.  Besides being a physical and mental test of the skipper and crew it provides opportunities for many disciplines:

• A portal for teaching with regards to climate change and global warming allowing schools to participate in curriculum related studies.
• Ecological awareness - we will not be taking any internal combustion engines therefore, relying totally on solar and wind energy for electricity generation.
• As a test bed for yacht design & equipment.
• Proving ground for navigation aids and communication equipment.
• Medical research on the physical and mental effects and resistance to cold and stress on polar journeys.
