My housemate Steve Bishop!! >> criminally cheap rent for the last 6 months and terrible banter to keep me on the straight and narrow!!

My partner in crime Ben De Maine, supporting me by rowing at all my marathon fundraisers and for joining me on the Dartmoor Double Marathon. Your a sucker for punishment!!

Silver Sponsors:

An Ebay Seller of Extreme Sportswear notably Sailing and Ski Clothing, have supplied my Offshore Sailing Jacket and Salopettes free of charge.

These guys are a Marine Chandlers and Boatyard in Topsham, Exeter. They have been helping me from the start, with free storage of the boat and even helped me to fit a great deal of the hardware onboard. They are great value for money and have a highly skilled workforce of boat builders and mechanics.

Mark Tremlett at the Natural Mat Company gave a hefty discount on my custom made cabin mattress, made from Coir, an organic material derived from coconut husks. The mattress is obsurdly comfortable and in training I have had some of my best nights sleep on it! Very encouraging for what is to be a very important time in my row!!

Doodacky is a unique internet blogging concept that allows you to upload your own videos in community based locales. I like to call my uploads blogumentaries, and its a great way for people to go online and see what other people are up to in their own communities.

David Matlby at Devon Web Design was generous enough to put together my original website and gave up much of his time to boost my profile.

Chuckle Shoes is a specialist shoe makers on Exeter High Street and Barry "The Boss" has been kindly helping me develop my back support, memory foam footplate and sheepskin footstraps.

Blakes Marine Paint Company have supplied me with my White Polygloss boat paint and my Black Ocean Performer Anti-Foul, which is designed to keep my hull free from gunk and limpets!!

The logo speaks for itself. Lets just hope that Skwoosh Gel Cushions live up to their name!?

The Yeoman Chartplotter is a unique and versatile means of manually plotting onto a navigational sea chart, without the need for compasses and rulers. I will be using this as my primary chartplotting aid.

Trouts Boatyard is based down in the centre of Topsham, where I have spent my time training and living for the past year. They were kind enough to run my capsize drill at my maiden voyage in May 09.

Cotswold outdoor clothing, based at Darts Farm Shopping Village in Topsham supplied a significant amount of my attire at a massively discounted price.
