In order to successfully solo row an ocean you need the right boat and equipment. After all, it will be home for 3-4 months and there won’t be any support boat trailing the event! Ocean row boats are very different to a typical rowing boat. They are designed to weather the unpredictable conditions of the ocean and accommodate journeys that last a few months.
This 24ft long ocean row boat is no stranger to the Atlantic, having successfully completed two Mid Atlantic crossings from Canary Islands to the Caribbean.
Purchased in the UK and re-named “Wild Ride” she will be ready for the West to East voyage at the end of May 2022.
Should the boat capsize in high seas, the boat is design to self-right, meaning it will roll to an upright position.
There is a desalinator that converts ocean water into clean drinking water.
All communication and navigation is powered by the sun! Thanks to onboard solar panels.
The boat features 2 cabins, that hold communication, navigation equipment and a comfortable sleeping spot.
In case the boat needs to remain stationary while facing high winds, the para anchor can be released to maintain position and stay on course.
