The Duracell Project
111K subscribers
I'm Matt. I am refitting and restoring a legendary race boat, known as Duracell. Duracell was built and sailed by legendary American sailor, Mike Plant, who beat the American record for solo circumnavigation in the first Vendee Globe in 1989. I am lucky to own this piece of American racing history. With a storied past and a 25 year pause on the hard, Duracell's story now continues with us. Follow along as I refit Duracell into a fast and comfortable cruising home. My wife, Janneke and I create weekly episodes for this channel documenting every step of our project.
