And that’s done! Three months of sailing in often hard conditions to reach the wild coasts of Northeast Greenland!
The VIA SEDNA team of 8 women, led by Marta Guemes, our technical sales representative in France, succeeded in the project initially imagined: a round trip to Greenland from La Rochelle and the opening of a new climbing route in the granite walls of the Scoresby Sund.

Mini Transat 2021
The Mini Transat is running and the participants have already weathered the first storms. Shortly before the start in Les Sables d’Olonne, Marta Guemes, technical Sales Rep from Dimension-Polyant France, handed over our Sail Repair Kit to Linaa Rixgens. We hope that Lina and all the other participants will make it across the Atlantic without any major repairs, but in a race like this it's just good to have a little backup.
