The Blue Project. Anne Quéméré is the only woman to row across the Atlantic Ocean in both directions on the Southern and Northern routes and she has also crossed the Atlantic on a third occasion by kite sailing from New York to France.
In 2011 Anne kiteboated over 7000km across the Pacific, from Lima in Peru to French Polynesia. ‘Break longstanding records, establish new exploits’ - These are definitely wonderful challenges, but certainly not the main reasons why I live as I do. I am driven first and foremost by passion! Unusual horizons, human challenges, development of new techniques – these are driving forces and abiding sources of learning. Born in a typical “Breton” family, I grew up with my family in a maritime atmosphere. In early 2000, I returned to the shores of my native Brittany to reconnect with the Northern Atlantic, the northwest wind and the drizzle. But that’s still not enough for me I guess.
In November 2008, I set out from San Francisco Bay heading to Tahiti (French Polynesia). Rivages. Blue Planet Odyssey 2014-17 - A New Round the World Sailing Event. The Blue Planet Odyssey, Round the World Sailing Rally. Summer 2014 @ emilypenn. Contact. Energy systems for IMOCA Open 60 ACCIONA 100%EcoPowered. ACCIONA SAILING - mastery > ¿Cómo funciona la pila de combustible del barco? El barco dispone de 1kg hidrogeno almacenado a 300 bar de presión.
Para el uso en la pila de combustible dicho hidrogeno es canalizado reduciendo para ello su presión a menos de 1 bar. Una vez la pila esta alimentada con hidrógeno esta transforma la energía química de gas en energía eléctrica con eficiencias cercanas al 50%. Tan alta eficiencia se consiguen debido a que el cambio de energía es directo de energía química a energía eléctrica, sin transformaciones de energía intermedias ya que es una reacción electroquímica.

Describing himself as a “solo sailor”, the skipper from Majorca already felt at home on his parents’ boat even before he was able to walk. The Mediterranean Sea has always been an important part of his life, a place where he could discover new things and make his dreams come true. Bubi Sansó’s passion for ocean exploration comes from his experience of sailing around the world with elite crews and that is why he embarked on his first big adventure: Sailing to the South Pole on the « Rael » schooner in 1997. 2012 5th in the Europa Warm’Up 2009 3rd in the Transat Jacques Vabre (M.Golding) 2008 4th in the Barcelona World Race. UFSC é a primeira universidade brasileira a construir veleiro para pesquisa oceanográfica. Ao mesmo tempo que transpõe as barreiras impostas pelo mar, a Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) está prestes a fazer a diferença em dois ramos importantes de pesquisa no país.
Em setembro de 2014, um veleiro construído por alunos e professores da Engenharia Mecânica, em um estaleiro improvisado no Sapiens Parque, em Florianópolis, poderá se deslocar até os polos com pesquisadores do curso de Oceanografia. O veleiro, denominado de ECO (Expedição Científica Oceanográfica), é o único no Brasil que vai possibilitar uma estrutura completa para experimentos e coleta de material em expedições. Com isso, o curso de Oceanografia da UFSC, com apenas cinco anos de existência, será o terceiro do Brasil a ter um barco para ensino, pesquisa e extensão. theplastiki.com. Pangaea Expeditions 2008-2012 - Pangaea PANGAEA EXPEDITION 2008 - 2012. Why the name ‘Pangaea’?
Pangaea is defined as a “hypothetical super-continent that included all the landmasses of the earth before the Triassic Period”. Then Pangaea broke apart during the Triassic and Jurassic Periods and formed what we now know as the Earth’s separate continents. Mike Horn chose the name Pangaea for his new expedition as it represents ‘the untouched world as it once was’. Why the Pangaea Expedition? This four-year journey of discovery is Mike Horn’s dream expedition, one which has taken much time and planning to realize.
How did it all begin? With the world and its elements as his playground and passion, Mike Horn is acknowledged globally as one of the greatest modern day explorers. Yet every step he took opened his eyes more to the alarming changes occurring in our environment. He realized that the future of our planet lay solely in the hands of our youth, who if properly educated and informed, can save and sustain our world for generations to come.
