The Pan Atlantic Team
The Pan Atlantic Team are Niall McCann and James Burge from
Bristol, UK. James and Niall are two local lads attempting
to do something incredible. They’re not celebrities or Marines,
just two Bristol chaps setting out on the hardest rowing race
in the world - the Atlantic Rowing Race 2007 - and they're
doing it for charity. James is a former fitness instructor
and is racing in an Ergo Row the Channel race in November.
Niall is more of a general adventurer, cyclist, canoeist and
mountaineer. Niall has cycled the highest road in the world,
canoed the Yukon and organized expeditions to the Amazon and
Pantanal amongst other adventures.
The Pan Atlantic Team Boat
The boat is made of 6mm thick marine plywood with a thin coat
of epoxy resin for strength and resilience to water. A six
foot long cabin provides shelter for the electronics, navigation
equipment and the team. All boats must be made to the same
specification.
