From NorthwestPassage2013:
“Two French men, Sébastien Roubinet and Vincent Berthet , who set out on a trek to the North Pole in July in a wind catamaran, announced today that they are blocked in the Arctic. A Russian ice-breaker has been dispatched to help them.”
“The goal was to make it to Spitzberg in the Svalbard archipelago in Norway, via the North Pole and observe the state of melting ice that has gone on over the past years.
However, “Admiral Makarov”, the Russian ice-breaker will come to the rescue after receiving their distress calls.”

I do hope they have to pay for their rescue…
The French version of http://www.sebroubinet.eu/ shows this:
September 3, 2013
Sebastian Vincent and Babushka just been recovered by the Russian icebreaker Admiral Makarov … They are now en route to Russia.
It looks like that both went on board at UTC 16:34, as the Admiral Makarov made then a 110 degree turn and traveled for more than an hour..
The catamaran tracker is still showing a position, but it moves slow. It looks like that it was left behind.
