Arctic Yacht Race from New York to Victoria

[eruptn 97]

Now here's a challenge;

 

Extreme Arctic yacht race planned  a race through the Northwest Passage, from New York to Vancouver Island, is possible only because of sea-ice melt, the organizer says.

 

The boats are to be built from 'volcanic fiber (basalt)'; now there's a new use for Rangitoto Island and the 52 other cones in Auckland.
