Please pass the word about this 'special' sailing rally around the world.
It is spearheaded by Jimmy Cornell, aiming to raise awareness of the global effects of climate change, as rising sea levels threaten to extinguish island communities such as Tuvalu and the Maldives by the end of this century.
Participants will depart at different times from different areas around the world ... so sailors from all continents will sail together in this 2+-year adventure. Departure from Europe in July 2014 ... later from the US and other ports. Some will go the northern route on the NW passage while the bulk of the fleet will sail the southern route.
What makes this rally different is that the participants will be involved in scientific and educational projects ... as well as visiting some remote & threatened areas.
