The North West Passage is open

Anne Quéméré will tackle the arctic ice this summer in an attempt to navigate the North West Passage, the mythical link between the Pacific and the Atlantic. Fully aware of the environmental issues, this sailor from Brittany will undertake the voyage powered by ultra-performant solar-panel modules developed to her specifications by CSEM. Her vessel, the Solarboat Icade was christened today at Concarneau (France).
