In the early hours of February 2nd 2022, Tim Harris and Simon Calver arrived in Antigua after rowing across the Atlantic as part of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
The duo (Team MINDCRAFT) completed the 3,000 nautical mile row in just 51 days 14 hours and 43 minutes. After being confined to a small space in their Rannoch25, enduring a two hour on/off pattern of row/sleep, and facing waves of up to 40ft, the pair are now official ocean rowers.
Tim and Simon chose to undertake this challenge in support of stem4 as they were determined to support the promotion of positive mental health to enable young people to achieve happy, healthy and fulfilling futures – they have raised a staggering £152,000.
Everyone at stem4 would like to extend a massive congratulations to the pair for completing the challenge, and a huge thank you for the astounding amount raised!
