Tout sur : Greenland

If sailing a sports catamaran is usually understood as a summer practice along warm sandy beaches, Dominique Bleichner and Paola Beneton, two lovers of the great outdoors, opened other horizons for us this summer with their raid on a Hobie Cat Tiger among the icebergs on the west coast of Greenland. A 2-month journey spanning almost a thousand nautical miles from Nuuk, the capital, northward with stops at more than 10 villages. An extreme navigation on a small open sailing boat with no cabin that brought them in contact with Nature and the Greenlanders.

Following three months of intense preparation, Dominique Bleichner and Paola Beneton set off aboard their Hobie Cat 18 Tiger to sail the west coast of Greenland. Departing from the capital, Nuuk, the crew will cover more than 1,000 nautical miles, heading north for two months, sailing from village to village.
