ANTARCTICA SAILING PROJECT Gindungo, Italian S/Y circumnavigating Antarctica THE PROJECT

TO ACHIEVE SPORTING RECORDS AND IMPORTANT HUMANITARIAN AND RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

Ventures not realized yet : circumnavigation of Antarctica by an Italian S/Yacht at the highest latitudes; discovering new routes, new landings.

Champions will achieve new free-diving records in Antarctic waters.

The humanitarian aspect of the expedition will have a particular relevance. During the transfers to Antarctica, the Sailing Yacht Gindungo stopped in Africa and South America to hand out humanitarian aid.

Researchers from the University of Tuscia were on board up to Canary Islands in order to undertake various scientific projects and research on marine biology

In cooperation with the C.I.R.M. International Radio - Medical Centre, the Antarctica Sailing Project Team will test e-health assistance.

ANTARCTICA SAILING PROJECT Gindungo, Italian S/Y circumnavigating Antarctica WHY

WHY DO IT, WHY BELIEVE IN IT?

1. To achieve sporting records

2. To realize important humanitarian and social projects

2. To undertake scientific and telemedicine research; ocean navigation offer ideal condition to test the great potentialities of human survival

3. The crew of Antarctica Sailing Project will test new technology and equipment during the expedition to Antarctica

4. To produce pictures and documentary for national and international televisions, documentary about the enterprise, the scientific research, the sporting records; to produce pictures and video closely related to the sponsor’s logo and the partner’s interests

5. Because NAVIGARE NECESSE EST

CORREOS DE LA MAR

Antarctica Sailing Project formed The Correos de La Mar in Canary Islands in order to to meet the strong social and humanitarian objectives of the Project.

During the long navigation to Antarctica, the S/Y Gindungo stopped in Africa and South America and, together with Sea Couriers (Correos de La Mar), worked in order to promote permanent development projects and to hand out aid to local populations.

ANTARCTICA SAILING PROJECT Gindungo, Italian S/Y circumnavigating Antarctica UNIVERSITY

• Prof. Mario Vultaggio, Director of Navigation Department (Parthenope University of Naples), will manage the steps forward made by the scientific projects on incoming data satellite acquisition through the NETNAV system

• Cetaceans in Antarctic waters will be studied by optical instruments and by electro acoustic instruments during the Gindungo Antarctica coasting.

• We have a small Laboratory on board where university researchers can work during the navigation.

• Researchers from every University are welcome on board, for any information please contact our secretariat at

• [email protected]

ANTARCTICA SAILING PROJECT Gindungo, Italian S/Y circumnavigating Antarctica PARTNERS

• Paolo A. Gemelli, well known router for International level navigators, is the weather forecaster of the expedition, previously known

• Andrea Vari, a professional cameramen, who has been cooperating for years with major national broadcasters, joined the A.S.P. team. During the expedition he will document and film the navigation, life on-board, weather changes as well as the work of the researchers and team members. The aim is realising several documentaries on the Antarctica Sailing Project to be broadcasted through International media.

• Learning about polluted and unpolluted natural ecosystems and emphasizing the need of their preservation will be the main goal

• The experience made during the realisation of the project will be documented and published; we already have contacts with some editors.

C.I.R.M.

• C.I.R.M. - International Radio Medical Centre - provides radio medical assistance to patients aboard ships flying any flag all over the world

• A.S.P. and C.I.R.M. will test telemedicine capacities all along the Antarctic navigation

• A.S.P. crews state of health will be constantly monitored by C.I.R.M. by means of radio and broadcasting technologies during the navigation in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Ocean and Antarctica, in order to test the medical data transmission from those latitudes

ANTARCTICA SAILING PROJECT Gindungo, Italian S/Y circumnavigating Antarctica TEST

A.S.P. will test both new and existing scientific and technical solutions in extreme conditions

• propulsive force for sailing in calm or in gale conditions

• traditional, new and renewable energy resources

• heating apparatus

• rigging and navigational instruments

• satellite communication systems and data transmission

• materials and paints with high resistance to ultraviolet rays

• technical extreme weather clothing

• special diets for the crew

ANTARCTICA SAILING PROJECT Gindungo, Italian S/Y circumnavigating Antarctica EVENTS

EVENTS

• Champions will achieve free-diving records in Antarctic waters.

• in the Antarctic Sea they will try to obtain records for vertical free-diving and horizontal apnea breast stroke.

• In the Antarctic Sea four A.S.P. Team members will simulate a shipwreck: they will open the life raft, and leave the ship to board the life raft; there they will remain for some hours during which they will test psycho – physical resistance in extreme environment.

• In this spectacular setting the safety equipment will be used and the “survivors” will be rescued
