Rebuilding a sunken electric expedition boat
Notes de l’épisode
The Knut is an all-electric aluminum expedition boat, and we have made a podcast with Ben Ruffieux about the innovative boat and how it sank in Greenland. To my surprise, I saw Ben and the Knut when I arrived in Lorient, France, with the Witness. He has been working hard to weld the boat together in Greenland, sail it without an engine to Lorient, and now is rebuilding the whole boat inside. We had to make a podcast about this sailor's determination, vision for a more environmentally friendly future for sailing, and his coming sailing plans.
