Oar Mighty Mates 2C

We need your support


GET IN TOUCH


To many, the idea of spending over 60 days crossing 3,000 miles of the Atlantic in a rowing boat would be immediately dismissed. However, in late 2024 and into early 2025, Oar Mighty Mates 2C; a two-man team from Kent and Devon, England, will take on the World’s Toughest Row Atlantic Challenge.
