One of the last big adventures of our time!

Sailing around the world for a good cause

Our goal is to compete in the RWYC Worldstar2026 and break the current singlehanded circumnavigation record of 137days.

On the way to the startline and around the world we will fundraise to support medical support for those who can not afford it and motivate people to follow their dreams!

Health - A human right

Doctors of the World is active worldwide - in emergency aid in countries such as Syria or Ukraine  as well as in development aid with longer-term projects. We primarily care for children and women in need, people without access to health care and are involved in refugee aid. In Germany we also offer medical care and advice to people without health insurance.

Nicolas Manthos

Skipper

My life changed after a sports accident 10 years ago. With the help of modern medic care I survived but was left blind on one eye. Ever since I try to live life to it´s fullest!
Now I set my eye on sailing singlehanded around the world. With this project I also want to give something back and help people who can not afford medical care.
