On The Wind #396 - Andrew Bedwell // Crossing the Atlantic in a 1-Meter Yacht

In less than a month, Andrew Bedwell from the UK will set sail on his homemade yacht, Big C, in a daring attempt to break the World Record for the smallest boat to ever have sailed across the Atlantic Ocean. The previous record has stood for thirty years, and if Andrew is successful, his will be very hard to beat indeed. His boat is one meter long, and the voyage is 1900 nautical miles.
