Austrian sailor’s world record attempt

Austrian adventurer and sailor Norbert Sedlacek is set to become the first sailor to ever complete a single-handed, non-stop circumnavigation without assistance through all of the world’s oceans.

Sedlacek will depart on board his Open60AAL Innovation Yacht on the 15th of August from Les Sables d’Olonne, France, the home of the world’s only single handed nonstop round the world race, the Vendée Globe, in which Norbert also participated two times, and finished in 2009.

Norbert Sedlacek’s Open60AAL Innovation Yacht is built from sustainable and recyclable materials. 

This challenge represents approximately 32,000 nautical miles, around 190 days at sea and will give an ultimate confirmation about the quality and safety of the Innovation Yachts new yacht building concept.
