Contessa 32 Assent and Willy Ker

The story of one man and his Contessa 32. Willy Ker sailed over 100,000 miles in Assent from the Arctic to the Antarctic. An inspiring story of adventure, endurance and the desire to keep on moving.

Another british touting discovery even mastery of lands already explored and known buy our Indigenous Peoples for thousands of years. The river's name Kuukpak. You may be able to BS yourselves but we are ashamed of you as fellow brit ex-pat. descendants now Canadian proud of our land and resourceful and welcoming First People. So much for the boat.
