In January
2011 we are running three record campaigns for the
mid-Atlantic route (La Gomera in the Canary Islands to
Barbados – 2600 miles away) and are looking for crew
members to take on this epic challenge. The records
will be more than just rowing hard…route selection,
reaction to situations and a degree of luck with the
weather all come into play.
The boats
we will be launching are three of the fastest ocean
rowing boats ever built:
-
Britannia III - a 12-man boat which crossed the
Atlantic this year in 38 days
-
Audeamus - an 8-man boat which holds the Indian
Ocean Speed Record (to be put out as an all female
crew)
-
Oystershack - a 6-man boat which is the fastest boat
ever into Antigua (37 days)
For £12,995
you will get the chance to have your name in the record
books, as well as receiving all mandatory training (RYA
First Aid at Sea, Sea Survival, Ocean Yachtmaster
Theory, shortwave radio training and licence), medical
equipment, tracking equipment, duty officer, family
officer, race clothing and a detailed ocean rowing
training package. Payment can be made in instalments,
we can provide you with information on gaining
sponsorship and direct you to useful ocean rowing
resources.
We know
what it is like to row an ocean therefore we cannot
promise success, but we do offer you our vast knowledge
of ocean rowing as well as the experience of a lifetime.
