About Expedition
Expedition is a complete tactical and navigation package developed by veteran Volvo Ocean Race navigator and Whitbread winner Nick White.
Expedition was initially developed by Nick for his use in the 2001-2002 Volvo Ocean Race with Team News Corp and the Stars & Stripes Americas Cup team. Two-time America’s Cup winning navigator Peter Isler has consulted closely in the development of the system
Since then, Expedition has been continually refined by a core group of world-renowned navigators.
The end result is a system that wins more races and is far more advanced and usable in all aspects than any other tactical software available - whether you are racing around the world or your local harbour.
