Crossing the Atlantic in a Three-Foot Microyacht: A Solar-Powered Ocean Stunt
Adventurer Andrew Bedwell aims to sail 1,900 miles from Newfoundland to Ireland in a 3-foot-long boat called Big C V2, marketed as the world’s smallest boat. The microyacht has no luxury amenities, just a domed cover and a footwell, but can carry about 550 kg and uses solar panels to power navigation electronics with two Victron batteries, plus a handheld chartplotter and phone-based navigation. He is documenting the build and journey on Instagram, attempting a dramatic ultra-small-ocean crossing.
