Jimmy Cornell in the footsteps of Magellan, without fuel...
At 12.04 pm on Thursday, November 19th 2020, the famous sailor Jimmy Cornell and his young crew officially set out from Seville, in southern Spain. Aboard Aventura 0, a 100% electric prototype based on an Outremer 4X, they’ve set off on a round-the-world voyage following in Magellan’s wake, in search of a carbon-free future.

500 years after the Portuguese navigator, Jimmy is setting off on a 33,000-mile journey that will take him to South America, the Philippines, South Africa and finally back to Seville for the summer of 2021. This historic challenge is also a technological one, since it is being carried out on board a brand-new prototype with a 100% electric powertrain. There’s a full test in MW175 and an interview with Jimmy Cornell to follow!
