Sébastien Roubinet crosses the Northwest passage by sailboat, without engine, on Babouche, the Ice catamaran Hundred years ago, Amundsen crossed the North-American archipelago from the East to the West and became thus the first person to carry out the passage of this way. Today, sébastien will try become the first person to carry out this passage only by sail. This sporting and ethical challenge, sponsored by Yvan Bourgnon, was never yet carried out by a boat without engine. Sébastien, accompanied by three "revolving" teammembers, will have to connect the Pacific to the Atlantic by the north of Canada. He conceived and built "Babouche" for this challenge, his ice catamaran. This boat, light and resistant, is able, at the same time, to sail on water and to slide over the ice. The objective of this project is to combine sporting challenge, innovation and respect of nature.
