About the boat

Built for the Atlantic.

Designed specifically for ocean rowing, the boat will become Simon's home, shelter and lifeline throughout the 3,000-mile crossing.

Every element has a purpose, from the solar-powered electrical systems and watermaker to the navigation equipment, emergency supplies and compact sleeping cabin.
