Rebuilding a sunken electric expedition boat

<p>The Knut is an all-electric aluminum expedition boat, and we have made a <a href= "https://www.explorenorth.no/podcasts/podcast159-going-green-in-greenland"> podcast with Ben Ruffieux</a> 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.</p> <p class="">Check out <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeJDc-RDS_M&ab_channel=OspreyPacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Going Greenland</a> and his website <a href="https://maremotrice.ch/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">MarèMotrice.</a> </p> <p class="">We have just released our Arctic Sailing Program, and it starts in mid October with <a href= "https://www.explorenorth.no/sail-with-whales-and-northern-lights" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sailing with Whales and Northern Lights</a> above 70 degrees North.
