The Quantum Drake Odyssey starts now

Mission Statement

The Quantum Drake Odyssey To rebuild, to rise, and to sail with purpose.

The Quantum Drake Odyssey exists to prove that a single individual, armed with skill, determination, and heart, can create global impact through adventure, education, and environmental action.

My Name is Chris Rootsey a multi‑skilled engineer, qualified electrician, professional photographer, and licensed drone instructor, I am building a vessel, a community, and a movement that blends innovation, sustainability, and storytelling into one unified mission..

This is just a small piece of the bigger picture of the Quantum Drake if your interested in knowing more continue to explore the whole website to revel more about the project and adventures 

Discover the Odyssey

A dream that once lived quietly in the background is roaring into reality. Explore the skipper, the boat, the preparation and the journey that will carry Quantum Drake towards the unknown.

One act of pure kindness turns the dark Into Light

Where a heart burns with compassion, the world breathes easier This voyage is no mere passage across water it is a vow.

A covenant carved in salt, starlight, and the unbroken will of a soul refusing to fade.

Rising from the ashes,

A reclamation of purpose,

A declaration that the world will not decide what becomes of a dream.

Here, on the edge of the unknown, inspiration is not found  it is forged.

Hammered by storms. Tempered by solitude. Ignited by the relentless fire that refuses to die. This is the proof. That a single human, armed with nothing but conviction and a horizon, can bend fate.

That dreams, when pursued with unyielding ferocity, do not simply come true they reshape the world itself.

And so the voyage begins.

Not as travel.

But as legend 

🌱 Our Mission Pillars

🌳 Tree of Life - Planting two trees in every country or island visited: one from myself, one from Drake the boat. Charity events will raise funds to plant even more trees as many as we can , every Tree will be tagged with details of who paid and planted the Tree as well as the time and date, to keep track of the Tree of Life I will have a living piece of artwork within the boat of a Tree that we will add one leaf for every two trees planted also each leaf will be marked dated to who planted the tree and where , this will also be duplicate as an online version this whole process will be Filmed and documented online. Two trees planted in every landfall, one from me, one from the Quantum Drake creating a living trail around the world. Charity events amplify the impact, with every planting documented in cinematic detail.

🌍 Earth Patch Explorer - Restoring a small patch of land becomes a micro‑mission of renewal, where every forgotten corner of Earth is transformed into a living testament of what humans and nature can achieve together. Each site begins as an unused, overlooked fragment of land a place that has been waiting for someone to care. We arrive as the Drake Crew, recycling every building material we can, clearing debris, and carving out a clean foundation for rebirth. From there, each patch evolves into something uniquely shaped by the needs of its local community.

✨ Starstorm Parties - UV‑lit ocean‑night livestreams broadcast from the middle of nowhere. A global community united under the stars, celebrating exploration, creativity, and the wild unknown.

🐾 Wildlife & Eco Volunteering - A global volunteer fleet protecting life above and below the waves. Documenting, educating, and regenerating ecosystems while connecting scientists and communities. This initiative embodies the Quantum Drake’s spirit of exploration and stewardship: to sail, to learn, to heal We will unite volunteers, scientists, and communities to protect wildlife and restore ecosystems through education, documentation, and hands‑on conservation. Every reef rebuilt is a future preserved. Knowledge shared is life multiplied. Collaboration fuels regeneration.

👨🏽‍🔧 The Drake Rising - Teach a Person to Fish the Quantum Drake Way This project is about giving people who’ve had a hard start in life a real chance to build a future.We work one‑to‑one with each person to uncover their passion, identify the skills they want to develop, and connect them with local apprenticeships, mentors,and real workplace opportunities.Because of my background across multiple technical fields, I can guide people into the right path not just any job, but a skill that fits who they are and what they want to become. But the support doesn’t stop at placement. We stay with them throughout the journey: advice, connections, guidance,confidence building whatever they need to keep moving forward. For those who excel, we aim to create international exchange opportunities, bringing apprentices to the UK to experience our standards, regulations, and working culture. They take that knowledge home, raise the bar locally, and inspire others to do the same that's the Quantum Drake way.

Our journey so far

Every ocean crossing begins before the lines are cast off. See the honest beginning of the Quantum Drake Odyssey, from the first decision to chase this dream through the lessons, setbacks and breakthroughs already shaping the road ahead. 

 

Meet the skipper

Behind Quantum Drake is a man choosing courage over comfort.

Meet the novice sailor determined to become the person capable of taking on a circumnavigation, with no half measures and no dipping toes.

Quantum Drake is captained by a man rebuilding himself through the ocean.

I’ve always been around water, always around boats, but never realised how deeply the sea was woven into me. After hitting rock bottom more times than I’d like to admit, I finally listened to the calling I’d ignored for years: go to sea, and become who you’re meant to be.

I’m a determined perfectionist with a love for safety drills 😂. EMG, S.O.P, emergency prep I run them because they make us stronger as a team, and because I want every crew member to feel confident in any situation.On the water, I’m at my best: calm, steady, and relaxed. In emergencies, I’m organised, focused, and ready. Without realising it, I’ve spent my whole life learning the skills needed to live aboard a boat. Now I’m putting them to use  one nautical mile at a time..

Explore Quantum Drake

Quantum Drake is more than a boat: she is the spark of a rebirth. Get to know the vessel at the heart of this challenge and the home that will carry the Odyssey through wind, weather and open water.

Training and preparations

Big dreams demand serious preparation. Follow the training, seamanship, safety work and practical decisions transforming ambition into a plan for the long voyage ahead.

Quantum Drake Update

The Quantum Drake journey is properly underway. I’m deep in study mode right now, pushing hard through my exams and lining up an express course that fast‑tracks the early stages straight toward Offshore Skipper. No half measures — full send only.I’ve also added a new chapter to the story: Freedom, my 25‑foot 1979 ocean‑racing yacht. She’s quick, sharp, and teaching me more than I ever expected. I’m out on the water three to four times a week, learning, refining, and levelling up every session.And as for Drake… the search continues. I’ve got a few promising leads, so keep your eyes on this horizon something interesting is definitely brewing.
