'A profound encounter changed my view of the Arctic' | Yachting Monthly's BBMA Winner

When Christopher Barrett sailed around Svalbard in 2024, a profound encounter changed his view of the Arctic. He served on the SV Linden, a three-masted wooden schooner in the Arctic, as part of the Ocean Warrior Foundation Expedition. This is his story. Thanks to Coppercoat, makers of the award-winning, environmentally responsible multi-season bottom paint, for their support of this year's Brian Black Memorial Award. ---- Subscribe to Yachting Monthly's Youtube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/user/YachtingMonthly/videos Subscribe to the magazine at: https://www.yachtingmonthly.com/subscriptions/yachting-monthly-subscriptions Read more sailing articles at: https://www.yachtingmonthly.com/ Like our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/yachtingmonthlymag/ Follow us on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/yachtingmonthly Follow us on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/yachtingmonthlymag/
