I built a Solar Explorer just before winter hit.
This is the story of my escape – sailing south through snow, ice, and grey skies on a hand-built electric yacht powered only by the sun.

Over 10 days I navigated through the final freezing winds of Sweden, heading toward the canals of Europe.
With limited daylight and panels covered in frost, I pushed the Helios‑11 to its limits.

This is not just a test of performance: it’s a field log of freedom.
