The FriendShip - Four Brothers Row the Atlantic

Congratulations to the Friend Brothers for crossing the Atlantic in 3rd place!

The Friend brothers are two sets of twins only 18 months apart in age and all Old Blundellians. Their aim was to become the first four brothers to row any ocean!

Known as the 'world’s toughest row’, the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge is one of the most demanding endurance events on the planet. The challenge is a 3,000-mile unsupported rowing race across the Atlantic Ocean from La Gomera to Antigua, in which they will face sleep deprivation, salt sores, and physical extremes inflicted by the race!

Many congratulations to the Jack (OH 2009-14), Hamish (OH 2009-14), Arthur (OH 2011-16), and Euan (FH 2011-16)! If you wish to support their fundraising efforts, please do get involved via the link below.
