Tybalt Peake, 15, hopes to become the youngest sea­man to complete the daunting voyage (Frances Brann/Erik de Jong)

THIS IS ONLY A HOPE BECAUSE TYBALT HAS FAILED IN HIS HOMEWORK - AND THE SUNDAY TIMES REPORTER HAS ALSO FAILED ALONG WITH THE EDITOR TO CHECK SOURCES. 


SHAME ON THE SUNDAY TIMES!

TYBALD PEAKE WILL NOT BECOME THE YOUNGEST BY A LONG SHOT - MANY OTHER YACHTS WITH YOUNGER CHILDREN HAVE ALREADY COMPLETE THE PASSAGE - ANOTHER 2015 NW PASSAGE YACHT THAT PEAKE'S BOAT HAS BEEN BUDDY BOATING WITH HAS THREE YOUNGER CHILDREN ABOARD - THE YOUNGEST IS UNDER TWO YEAR-OLD - HENCE, TYBALD HAS KNOWN THE TRUTH AND HAS KEPT IT UNDER WRAPS - NOT TO MENTION OTHER NW PASSAGE YACHTING FAMILIES WITH YOUNGER CHILDREN WHO HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED THE PASSAGE (SEE BELOW)

SHAME ON YOU TYBALD PEAKE! 

AS MANY British teenagers sweltered in their parents’ cars in queues for the Channel tunnel, the 15-year-old grandson of the Marquess of Queensberry was emailing his mother from the Snow Dragon II, a 49ft aluminium-hulled sailing boat inside the Arctic Circle.

“We just hit a big iceberg,” wrote Tybalt Peake last week. “Luckily there isn’t a crazy amount of damage.”

The vessel with Peak aboard was soon on its way heading up the Greenland coast towards the Northwest Passage, the ice-clogged Arctic waterway that leads from Baffin Bay to the northern shores of Alaska.

As the junior crew member and the only male on board a boat skippered by one of Britain’s most adventurous female sailors, Peake is hoping to become the youngest seaman to complete one of the world’s most daunting maritime challenges.

SO SORRY YOU HAVE NOT RESEARCHED THIS SUBJECT WELL... JUST LOOK HERE FOR A LIST OF THE NW PASSAGE VESSELS... THERE ARE MANY THAT HAD VERY YOUNG CHILDREN ALONG ON THE PASSAGE.

Most recent was Sailing Catamaran LIBELLULE (NWP2013) with the Cottier family.
