On Wednesday 1st December 2021 at 11:00hrs UTC, ASTRA left Lanzarote on the 1st leg of her circumnavigation.
The challenge was a world first for a motorboat under 24 metres to complete a circumnavigation via all of the Capes in the Southern Hemisphere:
Cape of Good Hope, South Africa
Cape Leeuwin, Western Australia
South East Cape, Tasmania
South Cape, New Zealand
Cape Horn, Chile.

Great to se how well Astra is performing on the big oceans! I have been working with her in sweden as a SAR-vessel for many years, and we really miss her. Regards from Sweden.

Amazing feat! I remember standing 4 hour watches without the luxury of sitting down throughout the duration of our watches at sea on merchant naval vessels for the entire duration of my 5 years service at sea. Loved every second of it and regret leaving the sea every day of my life. Great video! Keep 'em coming!

Congratulations for a great achievement well done. I wanted to ask if there's a longer version of the film showing more details about the ship, crew life and so on, it would be great

My Friend sold the boat to these guys, he spent a lot of money on her and modifying her. But then sold it to these great chaps

@Antipodean33 11 ай бұрын

You must be able to carry a shed load of fuel, most of those destinations you outlined are a squillion miles apart. How much fuel can you carry in tanks and what is the gallons per nautical mile that you average?

I think you will find that 46ft Nordhavn, Egret, with a couple on board finished their circumnavigation in 2011 by rounding all the Southern Capes. Astra looks quite a bit bigger! Well done all the same but hardly the claim to fame you think it is!

Everyone’s been AROUND the globe since sailing was invented. Let’s see you go from California SW and do it. You know you can’t because of that pesky ice wall. LOL

Hi Herb, thanks for watching. Agree there have been many circumnavigations of the earth, but this was the first via the Capes in the Southern Hemisphere on a small motor boat

I’d like to apologise on behalf of most kiwis. Dictator Cindy, our ex prime minister if NZ has done a great job of setting NZ back decades with a well over reaction to a lab leak. We are 60b further in debt and a bit of a laughing stock for blanket shutting down our country without compromise. We had family unable to get home to see sick family / births.

Big freakin deal you did a trip on a big boat with a big crew and you're probably pampered the whole way I see it as a waste of fuel and just more pollution into no major achievement there
