Iceland or Greenland Scamp Raid

Post by Brent65 »

I know this is a bit out there, but how about doing an advanced Scamp Raid in Iceland or Greenland in 2019. This would give us a chance to thoroughly test our Scamps, buy the necessary cold weather sailing gear and practice our cold water re-entries. We could ship the boats in shipping containers, fly to our destination, sail for 9 days, then re-package the boats for shipping and fly home.

I'm seriously considering this type of adventure, but would need time for thorough planning and finishing up my Scamp build, not to mention testing all my equipment and systems. I'm envisioning 6-8 Scamps to keep the overall size manageable.

Anyone seriously interested? This timeline would allow us to do all the research on the logistics.
