With effect from March 2016 Skip’s consultancy services are now supplied through a joint venture with EYOS expeditions, with Skip in the role of EYOS' Direator of Sailing Operations.

In this role Skip  will manage the preparations for all EYOS sailing expeditions. He will coordinate the lengthy permit process, assist Owners and Captains with itineraries and passage planning, and generally prepare the yacht, its crew and the EYOS Expedition Leader and Ice Pilot for their voyage into the ice. As part of the polar preparations, Novak will visit sailing yachts months in advance of the expedition, meet with the Captain and crew, and author a comprehensive report detailing how a specific yacht should prepare for and undertake its polar voyage.
