Only 177 days to go before departure!

And at the BOOT 2026 trade fair, I sensed a lot of media interest in the upcoming world record attempt! ⛵🌏 That’s why I’d like to introduce you to the two most important members of my crew😊

📱🎥 Annie has been in charge of our back office and communications for the project for the past year. She also manages our photo and video archives. You can contact her at asamson@innovation-yachts.com or via ANT ARCTIC LAB social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

⚙️🔧 Benoit is the head of my technical shore crew and thus the leading “good spirit” behind all the practical service work we have carried out over the last 8 months.

So, a big fat “THANK YOU” to my shore crew, because without them I wouldn’t be able to make it to the starting line with a perfectly prepared Open60😊
