Ocean 5 with Gtechniq Marine- A new World Record

32 days. 2,800 miles.

The Ocean 5 team smashed the previous five-man Pacific crossing record by over 19 days.
Five blokes, one boat, and absolutely no turning back, to raise vital funds for The Lewis Moody Foundation.

We’re honoured to have supported this groundbreaking journey with both our sponsorship, and the use of our high performance marine care products. It’s always thrilling to see our solutions being used on such awe inspiring ventures, especially when its towards giving hope and support to young lives battling brain tumours.

Team Principal Kevin Gaskell said:

“Manny and his team were amazing – totally professional, fast, neat and efficient. And then the product – wow! For the Atlantic row we needed to stop 3 times in 35 days to scrape the hitchhikers off the hull. Each time this was a couple of hours work and a distraction from the race. During the 32 days of the Pacific crossing we checked the hull a couple of times but there was nothing! Not a single organism had managed to attach itself to the hull. It really was remarkable and we are extremely grateful for your support.”
