Step aboard and follow the crew of Nautilus as we prepare for a 2,000 mile unassisted row around Great Britain whilst gathering vital environmental data to establish the current status of our shores. We're a mixed crew of six preparing to row unsupported around Great Britain in 2026 in the the GB Row Challenge...arguably the toughest rowing race in the world!

We've been a bit quiet of late...but for good reason.
All of the crew are training hard, on land and water, to prepare ourselves for the fantastic challenge ahead.
A huge thank you to Marcus at , a fantastic online training provider.
Now to put it to the test on the water...bring on June 2026!!

Red light is used (rather than white) to preserve our natural night vision, minimise disturbance to crew members and wildlife, and prevent glare and reflections that can cause safety issues.
You can see the difference that the B&G plotter projecting white light from the screen does (it can be adjusted), as well as the cardinal in the distance. Even the amount of light coming from the stern cabin is overdoing it a bit. Our skipper is keeping a vigilant eye on our heading to ensure we don't drift into 'bad news'.
If you look very closely, you'll see a red face staring back at you in preparation for Halloween! ๐คช
Love Training Days!
Bonding as a crew...rowing as a team, we spent the weekend challenging ourselves, practicing drills, improving standards...and loving every minute of it!
Getting on the water and figuring out the boat, the crew, and the tides is the most important aspect of this challenge.
