The project "Southbound & Solo" is started by me, Oskar Huledal. I am a qualified sailing instructor and has always dreamt of off-shore sailing since I was a sail-school kid. For long I believed that sailing off-shore was too expensive for me, being young and not having much money, but since I got in contact with Sven Yrvind my opinion has quickly changed to the opposite. As a young and independent soul the best thing you can do is to buy a cheap sailboat and discover the world.
The decision on long-distance sailing after high school were taken during the summer of 2013 when I was in Greenland and befriended the kayak guide Lorenzo Gimenez, who had long-distance sailed from France to Argentina. A few weeks later I decided my destination: Lorenzos hometown in Argentina: Camarones at 44 ° S 65 ° W. In October 2014 I bought a Hurley 22 and got shortly after in contact with sailing profile Sven Yrvind, who calls me his adept. Thanks to Sven Yrvinds good judgement on how a boat should be seaworthy a solid plan has now been developed and is to be carried out to make my boat ready for the big oceans and the roaring fourties.
