WATER
Have you ever wondered how to rehydrate 480 ration packs? The answer comes from converting seawater using the desalination unit installed in the boat. It is powered by the solar panels onboard and capable of converting 30 litres of saltwater per hour.
This is our only means of fresh water and survival at sea. If it fails we will have to rely on the back up hand pump which is only capable of purifying less than 1 litre each hour and will have to be pumped in between rowing shifts.
OUR CHARITIES
MAKING THE
MILES COUNT
Andy's nominated charity is the RNLI. He has close ties to crews around the coast following his Round Britain Row, and is delighted to continue supporting this fantastic lifesaving organisation, who have saved over 142,200 lives since their establishment.
​
In 2019, the RNLI launched their lifeboats 8,941 times, and responded to a further 17,356 incidents on land! Donations will go towards the cost of lifeboats, equipment, and running ocean safety campaigns.

Rosalind's nominated charity is the BLUE Marine Foundation. Having studied Ocean and Environmental sciences, she is passionate about working to protect our coastal and ocean ecosystems, and is very excited to support this charity dedicated to improving our ocean environments.
