Singlehanded non-stop around the world

01 september 2024 will Martin be going for the adventure of his life. A non-stop singlehanded sailing adventure around the world, from Norway to Norway. Non-stop means no stopping. Not touching land, not dropping anchor. No supplies will be given underway, all food, drinks and all spare parts will be carried onboard. From Norway the trip goes over the north sea, north of Shetland and into the Atlantic ocean. Where the compass needle will be pointing South until the westerly winds is found again. Around 40 degrees south. Odin will then be pointing east for the next 5 months. Passing south of South-Africa, Australia, New-Zealand and South-America. Not before the old path is crossed and an great circle is drawn at the globe, will the course be altered and finally be set back north towards Norway again.

Ruten rundt jorden

30 000nm 300 days

The trip will be around 30 000nm. Depending on where the wind will take us. It should take between 250 and 350 days. Odin will be carrying food and water for 400 days. 14 Different sails and diesel for around 250 hours. So Odin will be fully packed. Odin carries no watermaker, all water will be carried from Norway. Even though he is set up to collect rain water at every possibility. There will be no weather forecasts. Only the use of barometer and reading the skies. For Navigation Odin is equipped with modern technology such as chart plotter, AIS, VHF and Radar. But chart plotter and radar will only be switched on for emergency purposes. Navigation will be done the old fashion way with paper charts and sextant.
