On December 19th 2011, David Whiddon and Lloyd Figgins departed from Morocco and rowed 3200nm to Barbados.


They completed their challenge in 60 days and 17 hours and became the first independent pair to row that particular route non-stop and the 20th pair to row the Atlantic E-W as an independent pair.


Their challenge raised over £10,000 for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution who save lives at sea through their lifeboat stations and beach lifeguards.


















We would like to extend a huge thank you to all our sponsors and donors who supported us in our quest to cross the Atlantic - without all of you, we wouldn’t have been able to get to the start line. Thank you for helping us to achieve our dream.

“What Lloyd and David are undertaking is a remarkable challenge. It represents the spirit and determination required to beat the odds and succeed where most would not even dare to go. Good luck and best wishes.”
