JP and Charlotte of Project World Sail tell their story of adventure and seamanship, as they circumnavigate the globe on their yacht JACQEAU
Project World Sail is the story of a global circumnavigation defined by expertise and a deep respect for the ocean. While the project is rooted in the high standards of professional sailing, its heart lies in the freedom of the open sea. By sharing the reality of life over the horizon with a community of nearly 100,000 followers, JP and Charlotte hope to empower the next generation of ocean cruisers to cast off the dock with confidence.
Both JP and Charlotte have sailed since they were children and now, with a background in the professional maritime world, they bring a level of precision to their journey that balances the "dream" of sailing with the "discipline" of high-level seamanship. Their journey is about more than just moving from A to B; it is about mastering the craft of the long-haul voyage.
Currently midway through a circumnavigation, Project World Sail covers the world’s most diverse maritime environments; from the remote, intricate atolls of the tropics to the demanding conditions of offshore passages. And in between that you’ll find them working and racing on some of the world’s most prestigious yachts.
Through insightful storytelling, they document the technical and emotional aspects of world travel under sail. Whether troubleshooting at anchor or navigating through a moonless night at sea, the goal remains the same: to show that with the right preparation and equipment, the world’s oceans are a place of discovery, not just a challenge to be survived.
For Project World Sail, Raymarine is the silent crew member that never sleeps. Transitioning from the demands of professional sailing to the endurance-focused needs of a circumnavigation required a system that is as intuitive as it is rugged.
"Our professional background taught us to value clear, actionable data. On a long-distance passage, that data becomes our primary safety net," JP shares.
"Having a fully integrated system is so important for us when making key decisions offshore. We can take key data from the radar and seamlessly action it by choosing to set the autohelm to wind or course. Being able to rely on an autohelm that accounts for pitch and roll means we are free to leave the helm to trim and make sail changes."
