Sailing the North Pole

These two were a match made in heaven!

Sébastien decided to take Rodolphe on an unprecedented adventure in summer 2011: the crossing of the Arctic ocean in a sail boat, without food supplies, from Deadhorse in Alaska to the Norwegian Islands of Spitzberg, passing by the geographic North Pole!

To do so, he created an ingenious catamaran, a hybrid ice yacht, « Ti’Babouche » capable of navigating both on ice and water.

Despite the crazy, aborted dream to attempt at a World first, by taking a sail boat to the North Pole, to this little-known summer ice floe, the film reveals the daily life of these two men, in a captivating & spectacular road movie!
