Simon Chalk Unveils his latest Ocean Rowing Boat!

We were privileged today to be present when race organiser Simon Chalk (who has rowed 4 oceans) unveiled the prototype for his new ocean rowing boat. Simon described the boat as 'taking ocean rowing back to it's roots' and plans to build the new boat out of Carbon Fibre, used dehydrated meal packets and beer mats from the Blue Marlin (the legendary ocean rowers bar here in San Sebastian). Although quite a lot smaller than current ocean rowing boats it should suit diminuitive rowers like Simon especially as it is quite 'beamy' compared to it's length.

Simon is seen in the picture showing off his revolutionary design and we are pleased to have it proudly moored next to our boat.
