Row For Heroes - World Record Holders
Updated Thursday 12/08/2010 1:25pm
Guinness World Records have rubber-stamped Capt. Nick Dennison and Capt. Hamish Reid with their tremendous effort and are delighted to announce that Nick and Hamish have set a new World Record! They were at sea for 50 days and 5 hours during which time they encountered all kinds of wildlife and capsized three times in the North Sea, but they valiantly fought though all the British Isles coast could dish out to become World Record Holders.
The pair set off on the challenge on Wednesday 12 May 2010 in their 24-foot (7m) ocean-going rowing boat 'Komale' and battled high seas, fierce winds and strong tides on a journey of more than 2,100 miles, returning back to land on 1st of July.
The pair saw many different kinds of wildlife on their trip including minky whales, dolphins, basking sharks, countless sea bird and bizarrely a swarm of honey bees that needed a lift.
Its important to remember why Nick and Hamish took on this challenge, the British Army doctors aim to raise £20,000 for both ABF The Soldiers' Charity and Help for Heroes. They send out a massive thank you for all the support and donations they have been given so far. If you wish to donate or find more information about Row For Heroes please visit www.rowforheroes.com/

NEWS FOR RCR MEMBERS.
Updated Tuesday 23/02/2010 3:10pm
On the 3rd February, Adverc spent a pleasant and successful day at RCR's premises, Baswich, Stafford, where Guy Taylor and Mike Thomas conducted an awareness course, covering battery management in general and the installation of our now legendary Adverc system(s).
Trevor Forman and his team of Engineers attended this course, following which each received an appropriate Adverc certificate.
This increases the scope of RCR's breakdown and advisory services and it means that RCR members can expect additional assistance in the event of battery related problems, which was not available previously.
It is hoped to have more familiarisation courses in the foreseeable future. Any boat owners or installation specialist interested in furthering their knowledge of boat electrics and battery management, should contact Jenny Holland at Adverc, or Stephanie Horton, RCR.
‘More for your added peace of mind'.
