Novara is one of the most beautiful high latitude expedition boats ever built. She is a Bestevear 60C with two carbon fibre aero rigs. She was designed to take adventurers to the most remote places on the ocean. A few years ago Veronica Lysaght and Nigel Jollands took over as custodians of the ship. They wanted to sail from the UK home to New Zealand with a climate mission. The Novara - One Planet Project was born, and now they are on their way towards the Northwest Passage.

You can read more about the boat and the project on Novara.
