Depends on a number of factors, weather and how good you are. Hissy fits, whining and being generally annoying will slow us down.
The route must be over 2500 nm our aim is to beat the record by crossing in 28 days.

This expedition includes comprehensive training and full support from leading experts in multihull ocean rowing. Training will be of a standard, which will go beyond “competent crew”. Each individual will be trained in navigation, boat handling, survival at sea, first aid, maintenance, communication, correct use of safety equipment and associated protocol. In other words training will be of a standard which will allow each crew member to safely take charge of the vessel in all respects.

Think Ryanair 10kg. We will advise specifically after selection, you cannot bring your children, family pets, board games etc
Attempting to carry drugs or alcohol onboard, will result in all sorts of nasties , you will be going home after youve been keel hauled and flogged.
You can purchase your own food at a discounted rate from our sponsors and deduct £500 from your fee.

Of course, were all unique, gender, colour, religion is unimportant. The simple answer is we have a criteria to meet, you will be selected on merit. Whilst all crew will be physically fit a high emphasis will be applied to mental strength during training.
Regretably the nature of our expedition dictates we cannot properly cater for physical disability.

We don’t know, and don’t need to. We do know the atlantic is possibly the biggest bathroom in the world. It doesnt care, as long as its not oil or plastic. “Bucket and chuck it” is the prefered method.

Depends on how nice youve been towards them in life, if they are going to meet St Peter and your visiting Old Nick, probably not.
In relation to the expedition, our course may change in accordance with weather patterns , we may have to wait in port for weather, we may be delayed at sea for other reasons. The best compromise of placing the world record as paramount and preventing financial loss for supporters by being in the wrong place, is to inform of the arrival point as the boat reaches midway.

Because ocean rowing will inflict pain, misery, fear, blisters, sea sickness, upside down emotions and the list goes on. Your humour and the crews will help in overcoming the negatives, allowing you all to enjoy the positivity of remembering why your crossing the atlantic. Either you remain focused on being the best in the world or you dont. To reiterate “State of mind” is extremely important.
Music is a must. Make sure its waterproof sparky !

We know why…Whilst personal accomplishement is a big part of it. You really want to subtly hang it on your bathroom wall and invite friends for dinner.

If you don’t know you obviously cant come.
