A team of RIB enthusiasts, including sailing hero Pete Goss, will undertake an intrepid adventure to the Arctic this summer, pushing themselves and their equipment to the limit. The group of seven men and one woman will take part in the first ever GORE-TEX® Arctic Challenge and travel from Scotland to the Arctic Circle in tiny, six metre, Suzuki powered Humber RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) over the course of six days.
It's the first time the route has been battled in such small RIBs and the team has taken on the challenge in a bid to prove the capability of the modern day RIB.
