⏱🟢Let’s go…

…Today, Sunday 06th August 2023 at 11h 33’ 54” local time skipper Norbert Sedlacek Koch crossed the starting line, which will be in about half a year also the finish line for project ANT ARCTIC LAB, on board of his Open60AAL Innovation Yachts!🧡

An hour earlier he left the Vendée Globe Pontoon in Les Sables d’Olonne, in the presence of many friends, partners, followers and media teams! With his slogan “Never give up!” he shows that you always have to fight for your dreams, it is hard, you fall, you’ll get up and start once again! 

With project ANT ARCTIC LAB Norbert and his Innovation Yachts team want to show that it’s possible to build sustainable boats, like his Open60AAL. We want to raise awareness for our environment, like him being power self-sufficient on board. And he is on the way to attempt a world’s first, to sail around the world nonstop, single-handed and without assistance, and this through all five Oceans, including Arctic and Southern Ocean.

You can follow the project online under www.innovation-yachts.com, where his position will be updated every 4 hours on a life map, daily news will be there as well as on social media.

Fair winds Norbert, we will follow you closely! 🗺

Patience.

Nothing changed since yesterday, only around 4 knots of wind from W and flat sea, so I sail very slowly towards Les Sables and hope
