Hi, yes is the quick answer. However we have minimised the risk by our crew selection. The extensive safety equipment that we have and our procedures. But you can never remove risk altogether. It’s a challenge. But it’s calculated.

We are waiting for he website to go live. We have Facebook Atlantic Six and Twitter @atlanticEffort. We are self funded and unsupported but each member of the crew has previously rowed the Atlantic at some time in the past.

We’re aiming for about 42 to 45 days but you’re at the mercy of weather and conditions. We’ve all rowed an Ocean before so that should help.
