I recently completed a short project for Guo Chuan's Arctic Ocean World Record Challenge. The Chinese sailor was trying to become the first person to sail the treacherous Northwest Passage in the Arctic Ocean in a racing trimaran leaving from Europe and reaching the Pacific through the Bering Strait. 

It was an amazing feat of seamanship and it took them less than two weeks. I worked on global TV coverage and we were able to secure 2 Reuters news feeds, 2 EBU/Eurovision news bulletins, a feature on all five languages for Euronews and features on both IMG Media's Trans World Sport and Gillette World of Sport. 

Along with all the great sailing coverage, there was also this nice recap story on Yahoo Sports Action Sports site GrindTV.
