Background:

Having broken the World Record earlier this year the skipper of Team Hallin would publically like to thanks his crew, the land-based support team and our generous sponsor, John Giddens of Hallin Marine Subsea Services, for their vital roles in this successful venture.

And also a big Thank You to our support team.  Martin Prest, Louise Hosking, Richard Hosking and John Quinn.

A summary from the record breaking row is given below.

If this inspires you to attempt a record breaking ocean row then please contact David Hosking at: info@teamhallin.co.uk for details of the next adventure.

Unfortunately advertisements for the Round GB rowing challenge failed to provide a suitable crew.  There must be some ‘hard’ men and women out there: contact David.
