Atlantic / Ocean Rowing Boat For Sale

"Atlantic Jack"

Type of Boat: Woodvale Challenge Pairs Class
Year of Manufacture: 2007
Crossings: Atlantic Rowing Race 2007

Built in 2007,Jack was the fastest womens' pairs boat across the Atlantic in 07/08. The hull is re-inforced with epoxy glassing giving 100% hull integrity..no leaks ! Exceptional electrics system, our batteries never dipped below 50% charge, even in 10days with no sun. At no time did we ever feel unsafe with "Jack". We had a safety rail installed above the gunwhale & found it utterly invaluable especially in rough weather, it saves you crawling along the deck on your hands & knees. However, it can also be removed if not required. The orange paintwork may not be your favourite colour, but it's VERY visible on the water, life rafts are orange for a good reason.
