The Atlantic Challenge

Arrival

My Challenge was to sail the Atlantic Ocean single-handed. On December 10th 2009, I set sail in a 60ft, purpose-built, wheelchair-accessible catamaran on a voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. The 2,700 mile journey has taken  me almost  a month to complete, across some of the most hostile waters in the world. In completing my Challenge, I have now become the first quadriplegic to make the journey, unassisted in every aspect of the sailing.

The Rotary Jaipur Limb Project
We will continue to support this project this year as we have in the past. The Jaipur limb is a hard-wearing artificial limb and will last for three or four years at a cost of about £25.
