This is the first great project by Argo. Innovative, unique and with a big impact on international media world-wide.
Sailing, different in this aspect from other sports, allows disabled people the chance to compete on equal terms and conditions with "normal" athletes.
Lars Grael, outstanding world-leading sailor with two Olympic medals, is at present one of the best sailors even though he has lost a leg due to an accident at sea.
…since the news of the enterprise reached every corner of the Earth, many a youth of the noblest families asked to take part in the voyage. Jason hauled the boat into the water,adorned it with all that could amaze, and chose only the most valiant from among the candidates. (Diodorus Siculus)
