THE
CHALLENGE

To row SOLO 3000 nautical miles in a race called ‘The World’s Toughest Row’ across the Atlantic Ocean from La Gomera, Canary Islands to Nelsons Dockyard, English Harbour , Antigua & Barbuda in an ocean rowing boat just 7 meters long.

WHO AM I?

Andrew Major is a successful businessman, husband, father, friend & marathon runner. Andrew has always lived near water & has his rowing boat, named ‘Jazzy’ after his wife, moored in Portsmouth. In his 60th year Andrew is going to embark on a challenge of a lifetime.

Recognising the early signs of burnout Andrew realised he needed to take control of his wellbeing. Something he could focus on ,that was both physical & technical, whilst also providing an opportunity to do some good in the world. That’s when he saw ‘Pegasus’ an R25 ocean rowing boat, at that time , owned by the ‘Grandads of the Atlantic’ moored in Port Solent marina.
