Des Crampton took the Ramsgate-based Cantilena of London on a 4,500mile round trip to the Svalbard archipelago in the summer of 2014.
Des will introduce his boat and her equipment and give some insight into the detailed planning necessary to accomplish an expedition into icy high latitudes. Using photographs and charts he will illustrate the highs and lows of a journey beyond the North and Norwegian Seas and across the Barents Sea. He will try to explain what draws yachtsmen to such a remote and special place.
