At 12.04 pm on Thursday, November 19th 2020, the famous sailor Jimmy Cornell and his young crew officially set out from Seville, in southern Spain. Aboard Aventura 0, a 100% electric prototype based on an Outremer 4X, they’ve set off on a round-the-world voyage following in Magellan’s wake, in search of a carbon-free future.
500 years after the Portuguese navigator, Jimmy is setting off on a 33,000-mile journey that will take him to South America, the Philippines, South Africa and finally back to Seville for the summer of 2021. This historic challenge is also a technological one, since it is being carried out on board a brand-new prototype with a 100% electric powertrain. There’s a full test in MW175 and an interview with Jimmy Cornell to follow!
