Synopsis

James «Jim» Dobie was a skipper in the Clipper Round The World Race. Now he is about to launch Expedition Zero which is fossil-free expedition boats ready for adventure. The launch is in the upcoming Boot Dusseldorf, but he took the time to talk to us about his venture and the future of electric propulsion and sailing.   The first electric expedition boat will be sailed through the North West Passage in 2026, and the interest to join is massive. The goal is to avoid using any fossil fuel on the extreme trip through ice and barren landscape. The expedition is in cooperation with Wavysail. On January 25th UTC 1900 Jim and Wavysail are launching the expedition in a Zoom meeting, and you can join.
