The costs of my boat, safety equipment, rations, transport, insurance, race entry etc, totals in the region of £150,000.
When sponsors get involved, they get amazing PR, and I get some goods/services/money to go towards the budget. The more money I can raise, the more money can be given to our chosen charities!
This will be my home whilst Rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic ocean. I am hoping to buy a Rannoch Adventure R10 - a state of the art 20ft long fibreglass rowing boat.
Not only are these the best boats available, but they are also a requirement for both race and insurance purposes.
Approximately £60,000
My entry into the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge comes with a huge number of bonuses... and an entry fee.
As part of our entry fee, I will have access to emergency medical teams at both the start and end of the race, emergency support vessels during the race (if required), and support in my preparations for the race.
Entry Fee £20,000
Both me, and my boat need to get from the UK to La Gomera (the start of the race), and then once I finish I need to get myself and the boat back home from Antigua - No, I'm not going to row it home!
Approximately £17,000
