Ben Ruffieux has taken his green vision for the ocean to Greenland. His 50 feet racing aluminum sailing boat has been converted into a fully electric expedition boat in the Arctic. The film Going Greenland at the Banff Mountain Film Festival this year inspired me to make a podcast with Ben. We talk about Greenland, the future of expedition sailing and how he almost lost his boat.

Check out Going Greenland and his website MarèMotrice. Please also consider supporting him in rebuilding the boat after the disaster.

Keen on sailing the Norwegian coast? You should be. Read Sail the Norwegian Coast: How and Why you should sail the most beautiful coast in the world – Kindle edition.

If you need information about sailing in the high latitudes check out the book I wrote with Bob Shepton: High Latitude Sailing – Self-sufficient sailing techniques for cold waters and winter seasons.

If you want to support the podcast, and you should, please consider donating to allow me to continue making inspirational podcasts.
