Andrew Bedwell Plans to Cross 3,000 Km of the Atlantic Ocean Between St. John’s, Canada, and the West of Ireland in a 90-Centimeter Micro Yacht Equipped with Solar Panels, Two Victron Batteries, and a Total Capacity of 550 Kg, Without Amenities and With Minimal Internal Space

Andrew Bedwell intends to cross the Atlantic in a 90-centimeter boat, repeating the challenge across 3,000 km between St. John’s, Canada, and the westernmost point of Ireland, using solar power and a total capacity of 550 kg.

Crossing the Atlantic in a 90-Centimeter Vessel

The adventurer has built an incredibly small boat with the goal of crossing the Atlantic Ocean for a fraction of the cost of similar voyages. The vessel measures only 100 cm in length, about three feet, and is described as the smallest boat in the world.

Classified as a micro yacht, the model lacks amenities and offers minimal sleeping space. Still, it includes foot space and closed compartments for luggage during the Atlantic crossing.

There is also a dome-shaped cover designed to keep Bedwell dry while he attempts to sleep. He claims that the ocean capsule functions as a survival capsule, enhancing the structure’s safety during the journey.

Structure and Technologies of the Big C V2

The boat, named Big C V2, uses solar panels to power the electronic navigation systems. This solution results in a small carbon footprint throughout the journey.

Two Victron batteries provide power to onboard equipment. Among the installed systems are a portable chart plotter and phone navigation, ensuring electronic support during the Atlantic crossing.

Other features include a central rolling system and two side stabilizers. In total, the vessel can carry about 550 kg, equivalent to approximately 1,212 pounds.

Route of 3,000 Km Between Canada and Ireland

The journey will begin in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, and will proceed to the westernmost point of Ireland. The planned route totals 3,000 km over the Atlantic Ocean.

At only three feet long, the micro yacht is far from the standards of a traditional luxury yacht. Still, Bedwell believes that the structure is solid and capable of withstanding the turbulent waters of the Atlantic.

He claims that the boat can easily handle ocean conditions, despite its small dimensions. The design was conceived to withstand the demands of the crossing.

Documentation of the Journey and Publicity

Bedwell is documenting the construction of the boat and the preparations to cross the Atlantic on his Instagram page. The initiative tracks each stage of the project leading up to the start of the expedition.

The challenge involves crossing the Atlantic in a vessel smaller than an airplane seat, described as a small barge. Despite the limitations, he remains determined to undertake the trip of his life.

If he succeeds in completing the route across the Atlantic Ocean, Bedwell will have achieved the goal set with the Big C V2, solidifying the attempt to cross in an extremely small vessel.
