The Boat

Built to accommodate six men ‘The Oyster Shack Ocean Challenger’ is a 29ft x 6ft ocean rowing boat. This has been sponsored by the Oyster Shack and Jack Spratts Restaurants in Devon.

Designed by Woodvale Challenge specifically for this voyage the boat will be the Formula One of ocean rowing boats. Made of carbon fibre and kevlar the boat is amazingly strong and weighs in at just 200kg.

The boat has been in design and development for over 3 years and has self righting capabilities that far exceed any other ocean rowing boat in the world today.

On board the crew will carry all of their supplies and provisions for the crossing – if they are going to break the record no outside assistance – however trivial – is permitted.
