I am organising an ocean rowing
race from
California to
Hawaii in 2014. I know it seems like a long way off but I'd like to find some motherships / support vessels for the event.
Although the whole event is likely to take between 40 and 90 days I'm hoping to find 4 support boats and so each
boat would spend around 20 days with the floatilla before continuing onto
Hawaii.
The level of support that the motherships would provide would be minimal (providing additional freshwater to crews who have a broken
watermaker, taking ill entrants onboard, providing additional pieces of kit an
equipment to crews (all of which would be supplied by us))
Additional crew members including experienced sailors could be provided as well as a cash amount to help cover bills relating to the trip.
So if you have a vessel that you think would be suitable and you'd like to be considered as a support
boat / mothership for the event please don't hesitate to get in touch.
PM me for more details as the
race website is currently being built.
Yours in adventure
