Built in 1997 in Bossums Boatyard in Oxfordshire , she successfully crossed the Atlantic 2 times:
1. from Tenerife to Barbados in 1997 Port St Charles Atlantic Rowing Race with the first and only Mother & Son team, as can be seen in the current Guinness World Records Book (2008);
2. from La Gomera to Barbados in 2004 ORS Atlantic Rowing Regatta (winner of the Regatta)
Besides it has been rowed from Malta to Sicily in 2008 http://oceanrowing.com/Daniel_Abela/DA_phot_index.htm

In 2008 the boat has been completely refurbished and considerably re-enforced. The work done by ORS Int. technical team. List of boats repaired by them for preparing for sea includes Odessa, Marion-Lviv, Rus, Ukraine, Isidoro Arias, Memory of Zayed, and record-holder La Mondiale

The re-enforcement was made with light and strong materials, that did not add much to the weight of the boat but made it to be one of the most reliable plywood boats available.

It has been modified for team of three, so the storage cabin is prolonged under the deck and can be used as a separate sleeping compartment.

Now it has anti-slip grey deck space (to protect your eyes from sun reflection) and white hull.
New electric system and solar panels. Rowing station, 1 set of Macon oars and 2 sets of choppers. 8 new Henderson hatches.
No other equipment, but any equipment of your choice can be installed by the team by arrangement.
