Cartography of the route with departure date

Dear Friends and Followers,

As you hopefully know, “never give up” is my motto of life and therefore I am verry happy to inform you that we set a new departure date for the next ANT ARCTIC LAB world record attempt which will be 26th July 2026!

As you know during the last two years, I established with my team a new shipyard in Vairé, Agglomeration Les Sables d’Olonne, France, and as you surely can understand this was a project which needed all my attention, my time and energy!

But now the main job is done, my team is working on several future pointing new yacht designs and we are also starting our first upcycling project with our partner Expedition Zero😊

Knowing that our commercial projects are organised and moving forward I am now ready to prepare myself and our unique Open60AAL for another try to write sailing history!

Therefore please “stay tuned”, help me pushing the limits, keep your interest and your support and “SAVE THE DATE”, I hope to meet you on the 26th of July 2026, Port Olona, Les Sables d’Olonne!

Fair winds,

Norbert
