The arctic lifeboat & how to combine adventure with art - Guylee & David

Guylee Simmonds and David Schabel are two adventurers who share a love for sailing and restoring old boats. In 2019, they set out on a daring mission to refurbish a lifeboat, name it Stødig, and sail it from the United Kingdom to Tromsø, Norway. The journey took them through some of the roughest seas and challenging conditions, but their determination and passion kept them going. The boat, which was built in 1997, was in a sorry state when the duo stumbled upon it. However, Guylee and David saw its potential and decided to bring it back to life. They spent countless hours sanding, varnishing, and repairing every inch of the boat until it was seaworthy.
