Default Northwest passage

As the NW passage opens up, who is going to be first (in modern days)
to cruise it in a sail boat? Good way to get your name in print!

Two years ago Peter Brock, from the Halifax area did it over a three
year period in a steel 42' Brewer design. Shortly after receiving the
Nova Scotia sailor of the year award he was struck by a truck and
killed. He was in his 70's.

The boat is now for sale on yachtworld.com.
