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.

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.

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

•
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.

WHEN
Date of departure: November 2005 from Genoa International Boat Show
In the Mediterranean Sea Gindungo stopped in many ports: Costa Smeralda, Balearic
Islands, Tarifa
In the Atlantic Ocean Gindungo stopped at Las Palmas (Canary Islands), Capo Verde
Islands and Brazil and Uruguay
Now Gindungo is moored in Buenos Aires - Argentine.
In November Gindungo will proceed to Cape Horn and will cross the Drake Channel to
reach Antarctica

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
