These two guys sailed their Albin Vega 27 to Hawaii and back.  Very SailFar!  They just posted their video in 3 parts...

Any sail boat regardless of size is a potential world cruiser, but a power boat is nothing more than a big expense at the next fuel dock

thanks for the link.

good vids, great blog.

He mentions in the blog, a guy that sailed a vega around cape horn and then into the antarctic at age 19.. the same guy, same vega, then sailed north to the arctic...
www.wildvikings.com HOLY CR4P these guys rule!!!

(edit)
it was (is) a new boat, not the vega, that made the northern voyage.
but still, a vega in the antarctic is pretty impressive :)

(edit again!) Not sure why they told me the book was only written in norwegian!, Maybe because I talked to the Norwegian guys and not the American (Dave Mercy) that was with them :/ 
Link to book in another thread here There is a second one "Berserk in the Antarctic" which is the only one I found on amazon.
