Welcome Aboard Pangaea - The Biggest Sailboat Built With Eco-Friendly Concepts





沛納海是 Mike Horn 此次新任務的贊助商。這位著名的南非探險家於2008年五月離開摩納哥公國,踏上為期四年的探險旅程。他的行跡將遍佈包括南極洲在內的所有大陸,目的是傳播關於地球當前狀況的認知,喚醒公眾對地球環境問題的意識。

此次探險活動名為「PANGAEA (Pan Global Adventure for Environmental Action ) 全球探險環保活動」;Mike Horn 將秉承探險座右銘「探險、學習、行動」,除了作為觀察家外,還將積極參與行動,努力將我們的地球家園變得更美好。
為期四年的「PANGAEA全球探險環保活動」的司令部將是一艘配有多種創新技術的同名Pangaea船艦。這艘環保型帆船Pangaea在南美設計並建造,配備通訊和會議設施,船上可容納 30 人。
Officine Panerai is the sponsor of Mike Horn’s new mission. The celebrated South African explorer left the Principality of Monaco in May 2008 on an expedition lasting four years. In several stages his journey will take him to all the continents including Antarctica, with the intention of sharing awareness of the current state of our planet so as to make public opinion aware of this important problem.

The name of the expedition is ‘Pangaea’ and – in accordance with the motto of the expedition “Explore, Learn, Act” – Mike Horn will not restrict himself to observing but will be actively involved in trying to make our planet a better place.

The headquarters of Pangaea for the four years of the expedition will be a ship equipped with many innovative technologies. Constructed with respect for the environment, this vessel was designed and built in South America, it is equipped with communication and conference facilities, and it can host 30 people in board.
