Kiwi Yachtsman completes world sailing first; Arctic North West
Passage solo, non stop in a record 12 days.

 


Graeme Sets Sail

At midday on Tuesday the 26th of April, Graeme Kendall left Auckland's Viaduct Harbour to begin his voyage around the globe via the Northwest Passage. In attendance were many members of his family, friends and the media to fare him well as he began the 28,000 (40,000km) nautical mile trip.

  To keep track of the movements of Astral Express, Graeme has the Track4000 GPS Tracking system set up that transmits his position, heading, speed and other information back to the team at Advanced Global Communications. From there the GPS information is plotted on the AdvancedTrack map of the world, showing his most current position, previous positions and their relative tracks. His most recent positions can be viewed online here.
