Calling all aspiring record-breakers…

Woodvale Works Ltd, part of Woodvale Challenge Ltd, are looking for individuals who wish to row an ocean as part of a crew, solely with the purpose of breaking and establishing records.

In January 2011 we are running the Atlantic Allum Cup - three record campaigns for the mid-Atlantic route (La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Barbados – 2600 miles away) and we’re 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 will all come into play.

The boats we will be launching are three of the fastest ocean rowing boats ever built:

Britannia III - a 14-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 a reduced price of £8,000 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.

For more information, or to book your place before the deadline on Friday 30th October, please get in touch with Kate or the main Woodvale office in Devon - +44 (0) 1364 644 598.
