On the 22nd of April TOPtoTOP participated in a Panel Discussion about “The Use of Alternative Energy in Switzerland and Australia – How can both countries profit from each other?” organized by the Swiss-Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry: check pdf.

On the 26 and 27th of April we have done two presentations in the famous Power House Museum in Sydney and on Monday the 28th we had a media conference at the Sydney Yacht Squadron where the media was also able to see the expedition boat. We made already interviews to a Chinese newspaper and the Phoenix Satellite TV station from Hong Kong.
On the 5th of May we had a public presentation together with Kerry Tober in Canterbury organized by our friend Karen Rivers. Kerry crossed the Tasman Sea in a row boat from NZ to Australia.
The highlight was the test of the wonderful new Victorinox sails made by North Sails Australia and North Sails Switzerland. Here some pictures: knife , logo, Harbour Bridge and under sail….
