SOJASUN

Boat fully equipped, ready for departure: 25 000 Euro

Built: 2006
Number of rowers: 2.
Length of trips done: 6.700 km (Cadiz – Grand Canaria – Antigua).
Duration between La Gomera and Antigua: 51 days 6 hours and 10 minutes.
Weight: 160 kg only (unloaded).
Length: 8,9 m.
Width: 1,65 m.
Draught: 2 m.

Overall condition: excellent, ready-to-go.

Super-light weight & high speed
We have built our boat of glass fiber epoxy raisin, applying inbuilt Herex-foam sandwich structure and carbon-fibred special strengthening. As a result, the boat became super-light weighted, extraordinary strong, reliable, storm-proof and safe.

The carefully selected materials, the special structure, our own design and workmanship have contributed a great deal to a record-level crossing over the Atlantic: 51 days 6 hours and 10 minutes (only 4 hour behind the current record, although we started our trip more than 1 day rowing far from La Gomera).

Formerly known as “Yantu” this boat was professionally built to a very high standard in 2001. The boat is 100% watertight and very simple to use. It has completed three unassisted crossings of the Atlantic from East to West, and has had a book written about it.

This is your chance to own a safe, reliable and fast boat with historic interest.
Apart from food, this boat comes complete with virtually all the 2005 mandatory race equipment including a full electrical refit and new spectra watermaker for the 2005 race.

Set up by rowers, (not us!), the seating positions are very comfortable. The boat also has a great foot steering mechanism which enables you to set the trim from either position and make quick changes in surf conditions.
Painted in white, the boat will not only keep you cool but allow you to customize it to your own design very easily (Just peel off the old stickers).

RENTED

Fast and safe - 2nd pairs boat home in 2005 Atlantic Rowing Race (51 days).  She performed brilliantly (when others were capsizing or falling apart).  Ready to do it again. 
Nearly complete race inventory - includes all equipment required by 2005 Woodvale rules (e.g. fixed EPIRB, handheld EPIRB, fixed VHF radio, handheld VHF radio, handheld VHF radio, fixed GPS, handheld GPS, fixed watermaker, handheld watermaker, Sea Me, solar panels, fixed compass, handheld compass (2), strobe light, lifejackets, survival suits, flares (none used!), harnesses, 2 pairs of oars, sea anchors, droque, ropes, first aid kit (largely still intact), tools, 2 axes, knives, fitted mattresses (very comfortable!) etc, etc). 
Also comms equipment - 2 Iridium satellite phones, date kit, iPaq handheld PC - in short just about everything you will need to make an ocean crossing! 
 And a trailer to tow her on too. 
Full inventory available on request. 
 We will also be happy to provide the boat's new owners with advice and support on the boat, race preparation, tactics etc. 

'Atlantic 4' (previously 'Queensgate')

 BOAT FOR SALE: Roswell and Adkin built composite hull. MUCH stronger than the flat packed plywood boats and with a far longer lifespan.
 
Two successful Atlantic crossings, no capsizes and the boat still holds the 4’s crossing record of 36 days and 1 hour.
 
Twin berth arrangement to suit 1 to 4 rowers. Would make a particularly good pairs boat due to the ability to have a working cabin (wet cabin) and sleeping cabin (dry cabin). Also bow cabin is below the waterline and body shaped to remove the problems of being thrown about in the main cabin when sleeping. The boat is acceptable for the next Woodvale race as a pair or solo.
 
EQUIPMENT: All equipment required for 2005 Woodvale race included. Some items in first Aid kit used, otherwise top up the satellite phone and go rowing. Includes several 'luxury' items, e.g. auto-helm and extra GPS mounted on deck to display speed / course information while rowing.
 
Trailer included - pick up and drive away.

Team Row 4 Cancer have completed the 'epic' 2005 Atlantic Rowing Race and are offering future ocean rowers the chance to buy this fantastic fast and reliable boat!

Row 4 Cancer is one of only a few second hand Challenge Pairs class boats to have rowed an ocean just twice. The boat was built in France by professional boat builders in 2001 and has achieved crossing times of 64 days; 12 hours; 31mins (2001) and 60 days; 18 hours; 56 mins (2005).

In 2005 Row 4 Cancer was rowed by Liz O'Keeffe and Richard Mayon-White who became the first mixed pair to finish in Antigua and Liz the first girl to finish (beating both '4-girls' boats). They finished 8th overall (out of 26 starters) and 6th in the pairs class. Prior to their campaign Liz had no rowing experience and Richard had not rowed for many years. Their finishing position is testament to the volume of work put in to the complete refit of the boat throughout 2004/05 to make it fast, strong and very seaworthy. The boat rolled 4 times in the 2005 race, due to the extreme conditions and speeds traveled (max 18.6 knots!) but on each occasion she flipped straight back up again - not many boats can claim that!

It is with regret that we have to sell our beautiful boat!

Boat, Trailer, Electronic and Safety Equipment

We are very flexible in our approach to selling the boat.

We have available a full compliment of electronics, rowing and safety equipment (complete as required by the 2005 race rules), all brand new in 2005 (no equipment was bought second hand). This kit will largely get you to the start line of your trans-Atlantic row.

However we understand that rowers may want to kit themselves out with new safety and / or electronic equipment. As such we are flexible on price and equipment offered and included with the boat.

Whatever option you chose, the boat is in an immaculate condition (with trailer) and ready and waiting to go out rowing training this summer.

2 Solar Panels (rigid)
Rudder
1 pair of oars (3.5m long),

Built in 2005 the boat made only one crossing and is in a very good shape. Bare boat, no equipment.  Capsized 150 miles from Antigua, the team was rescued,  the boat arrived ashore on her own, but the equipment was lost or damaged - that's why such a modest price.

'Ondine' is for sale with all equipment needed for an ocean row. She is in excellent shape and is performing very well in her current journey from Portugal to Costa Rica.

'Ondine' was built in 1997 by professional British boatbuilders. A complete marine survey was done 6 months ago and confirmed the boat's excellent condition. This is her third Atlantic crossing. Her previous 2 were Woodvale races (she placed 6th in the 2001 race and was widely acknowledged as the best built boat in the 1997 race).

Challenge class plywood boat.
I am an overseas owner, who was unable to get expected sponsorship and decided to sell the boat on.

Priced for a quick sale. Bare boat, needs some repairs that's why low price.  It will be much cheaper and faster to repair this boat than to build a new one.
