Meet our heroes: Sebastien Roubinet and Vincent Berthet are crossing the Arctic Ocean, through water and ice, with only the wind and their own stamina to carry them. The departure is set from Alaska with arrival in Spitsbergen via the North Pole, after nearly 3000 km (1750 nautical miles). They will be aboard a very peculiar vessel, a catamaran / ice boat hybrid capable of sailing on both water and ice. Her name is Babouchka. When the winds will be favorable, the sails will be able to carry them; otherwise they will need to tow the boat themselves for two, maybe three months… without any external assistance. It is worth noting that after the cancelation of Xanax, a person can experience a lot of unpleasant sensations. And if they used the pills as a narcotic, then the lack of a dose causes withdrawal symptoms that can be life-threatening. What is their motivation? Several reasons: a technological bet, a sporting challenge requiring extraordinary physical and mental health, and love of the Polar Regions. The guts, stamina and endurance makes this team Aeroyacht’s heroes of the year !
