Around the world under sail
At the Copernicus-Doubloon
Tribute to the great navigators of the
First round the world sailing trip
Alegría Marineros !!
We are going to go around the world in homage to the great navigators of the time, Juan Sebastián Elcano, Ferdinand Magellan…
We have divided this expedition into several voyages, which you can join by stages, oceans or complete return.
We will make the same defeat that they did, we will try to relive what they felt and we will visit the places where they are known to have landed.
During this great expedition (the largest of our lives) we will be recounting this trip through networks. We will also take the opportunity to record a documentary.
It will be a tribute of about 37,000 nautical miles and will last approximately 20 months.
Perhaps we are facing the only opportunity we have in this life to be able to try to make this dream, our dream, come true.
We will set sail on September 20, 2024 from Sanlúcar de Barrameda and return around February 2026.
We will share experiences with the people and those who are passionate about the history of those places where this great feat took place. During this challenge we will make stops, talks in emblematic places, we will learn about current and ancient customs. We will compare today’s navigation systems with the old ones. We will talk about meteorology, and the geopolitical situation of the time, vs the current one.
“MAY THIS PROJECT BE A TRIBUTE TO ALL THE DREAMERS WHO LOVE THE SEA, THE
ADVENTURE AND THE BEAUTY OF HISTORY AND LIFE”
