OUR HISTORY
Discover the story of Christophe and his wife Marie-Diane, the ARCTIC SAILING ESCAPE expedition skippers and their vessels.
Following Christophe’s acquisition of his first sailing boats, an Elisabethan 35, then an Arpège, Christophe and Marie Diane sailed a Chance 37 and later a Passoa 47.

The fauna is very diverse with many birds and different species of mammals such as foxes, reindeer, walruses, seals and especially the polar bear, emblem of Spitsbergen and the Arctic.
