# Rowing
across the ocean?
Huh,
it sounds a bit insane, isn’t it? Well, we assure you, it
isn’t. It is challenging
though, that’s why
we need your support.
We are passionate
rowers, with “never
give up”
attitude.

# What’s
the purpose here, guys?
|
We wish to engage
you in our
global campaign for transforming people’s habits. In other
words, we would
like to build an active community,
where everyone does their part for the environment by taking
the first step
and encouraging
other people to do so.
And in the meantime, train with us, follow us while we cross the
Ocean, and enjoy being part of this community.
|
Don’t
worry! We won’t pull the “environmental
card”
to provide a justification for our campaign. We respect your time
more. But we know the math: the more
people we can reach, the strongest community we can build.
We are preparing loads
of interesting and
fun stuff
while we are crossing. This way, we can leverage the expedition’s
global marketing strength to reach as many people as possible to
build an active and powerful community.

As
pioneers of community Trans-Atlantic rowing,
we are
rowing with you!
We share every single strike of the oar, every mile we take with you
via photos, videos
and all kind of
updates and games.
In other words, we are the engine and you are the fuel, so we
will row across the North Atlantic together
while we are supporting
a good cause and
still having fun!
FOR
OUR CHILDREN.
FOR OURSELVES.
FOR EARTH.

# What
have we achieved so far?
We
reached an important milestone with SAMSON being floated and water
tests are in progress.
![]()
With
almost 4 years of hard work:
-
we
completed
the one-of-a-kind ocean
rowing boat,
-
we
prepared physically
and mentally for
the challenge,
-
we
developed our ground
Team to support
the event,
-
we
reached out to the media
for global coverage,
-
we
compiled all checklists and identified all items
required for a successful mission.
# Why
do we need this money?
![]()
Rowing
across the North-Atlantic, we have to face very
volatile and unpredictable weather and high traffic of commercial
vessels in addition
to all the other difficulties what 80 days on open Ocean may hold for
us. To successfully accomplish the challenge, we need
to have well selected professional equipment and food onboard,
taking also the limited space and weight constrains into account.
![]()
Every
penny you help us
with will be spent
for these goals! No
“sideways”, 100% transparency. Since we have already
completed the boat, you are supporting a challenge with solid
foundation!
![]()
Oh,
you are one of those men of details guys who want
to know everything about all
the equipment/services we need to acquire with your support to break
the Guinness Record?
(YES, we will. I forgot to mention? Sorry…)
So
here they are, Just for You:

# What happens if we don't reach the fundraising goal?
Well, nothing lost! We will use every penny you donated the most efficient way!
Let's see how powerful your contribution is:

We are
absolutely committed to depart under all circumstances. So the more you can help, the better our chances are. Clear and sound.
# Wonder,
what the heck can happen during 80 days?
Being
the pioneers of
Community Trans-Atlantic Rowing,
you can follow our life onboard, almost
live broadcasting.
So, better stay tuned!
Whales,
floating containers, storms
and massive
house-sized ships
are special kind of excitement, especially when we are trying to
avoid collision
with them. All routine
tasks natural on
ground, turn funny
and even embarrassing
in such a small
living space…
(Just think about it!)

Fixed
cameras
installed
all over the boat, even in the cabins! 1
minute interval photos
and daily HD video
updates bring you
right onboard with us. The drone unit we carry will provide
spectacular aerial
footage we share
with you.
Massive
amount of information,
isn’t it? Presenting it in an attractive yet easy to use form
is a challenge. This is why we developing a top-notch
website. Do you
want a sneak
preview?

We
row with you, so we talk to you!
You can communicate
with us directly:
questions, thoughts, jokes (below and above the line), all
are welcome as they
keep us going. There are plenty of ways to “travel
with us onboard”
or you want to receive
a call from us,
maybe you want to smile
into the onboard cameras
for a day? Just check
out the amazing rewards!
# Do
you believe you can beat us?
We
are happy to take the challenge! We are rowing, you
are doing your daily trainings.
Then we will bring all your different types of activities to a common
denominator to convert them to rowing miles and finally we apply the "weather factor" (based on the actual weather we experience at the open ocean).
![]()
And here we are… You are racing against us and other attendants!
We provide you cool ways to track your actual position, and possibility to compare your results with a specific person or within a selected group of people. You can even communicate with us or any other attendants.

Should
start training harder mate, the challenge soon begins!! :-)
