The Inspiration

Ella Hibbert is a 28 year old adventurer, passionate about the conservation of our oceans, aiming to sail single handed around the Arctic Circle in 2025. In undertaking this epic adrenaline filled sailing expedition she hopes to raise global awareness of the impact of climate change on our Arctic environment. 

KEEL OVER Sailors Rum and Ella in the Artic Hot Chocolate are inspired by Ella, her love of sailing, the oceans, the environment and its wildlife and of course her love of a mug of hot chocolate.

Despite her young age Ella is already an accomplished sailor. She qualified as a RYA Yachtmaster Instructor at the age of 25. Ella is embarking on a record setting, never been done before, solo and non-stop Arctic Circumnavigation, a feat that has long been considered impossible.
Ella's passion for the ocean extends to its wildlife. She has always felt the most at home on, in, or under, the ocean, and is a PADI Divemaster.
Ella has bought a Bruce Roberts 38ft steel yacht that is suitably set up for single hand sailing. Equipped with solar panels, hydro generator, wind vane and water maker, making it an almost completely self-sufficient vessel. Yeva has undergone extensive upgrades to equipment and will be tried and tested in 2024 as she plans her route for the 2025 circumnavigation.
Ella is going to be spreading awareness about the work being done by the Charities Polar Bears International, who are dedicated to conserving polar bears and the sea ice they depend on to live, and Ocean Conservancy, a non-profit, that works on different programs around the globe in an effort to protect our beautiful oceans.

The Adventurers Rum

The British Royal Navy introduced a daily rum ration, known as a "tot," in 1731. This ration was given to sailors as a reward for their hard labor, a morale boost, and even as a form of medicine. 

Initially, the rum ration was given out neat, but it was later mixed with water to create "grog". 

The term "keel over" refers to boats and ships falling or overturning.

The last day of the rum ration in the Royal Navy was July 28, 1970, and it is now known as "Black Tot Day".
