It’s an extreme route of nearly 400 kilometers across the North Sea—one of the roughest seas in the world. The journey crosses through the time zone, navigating between large shipping lanes and waves that can easily reach heights of 3 meters. With an estimated duration of around 13 hours without breaks or other “complications,” it will be a race against daylight.

Since the crossing can’t be made on just any random day, we’re working with a so-called “wind window.” The wind window is open from August 12th to September 12th. This means the crossing will take place on the first day within this period that presents the right conditions (it can be any day of the week and is not limited to weekends).
