Interr

We have calculated and offset our total emissions and become a Carbon Neutral Business for the 3rd year running!

What does it actually mean for a company to be Carbon Neutral?

Carbon neutrality means having a balance between emitting carbon and absorbing carbon from the atmosphere in carbon sinks. Removing carbon oxide from the atmosphere and then storing it is known as carbon sequestration.

Certified via the Verra - Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the Gold Standard - Voluntary Emission Reductions (VER) or the United Nations - Certified Emission Reductions (CER) programmes, the projects have also been selected based on their direct and indirect impact around the world - not just in offsetting, but also in supporting education, employment and clean water, as well as having net positive impact on the local wildlife and ecology.

The Worlds toughest row – The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge that will take them 3000 miles west from San Sebastian in La Gomera, Canary Islands, Spain (28 ‘N 18 ‘W) to Nelson’s Dockyard, English Harbour, Antigua and Barbuda (17 ‘N 61 ‘W).

Team Excelsioar will row 2 hours on 2 hours off, 24 hours a day for as long as it takes to get to Antigua, battling the elements, sea-sickness, dehydration and sleep deprivation to reach their goal. Other things to contend with include, 30ft high waves, storms, hallucinations, salt sores, blisters, the risk of capsize, sharks, and the less than glamorous toilet facilities (a bucket on deck).

Some key facts:
Every year remarkable people achieve remarkable things by rowing across the Atlantic Ocean. No year is the same. Every year, brand new stories are created. From charity funds raised to wildlife seen, to World Records achieved.
• Team rowers will row for 2 hours, and sleep for 2 hours, constantly, 24 hours a day,
• Each team will row in excess of 1.5 million oar strokes over a race
• The waves the rowers will experience can measure up to 20ft high.
• Each rower needs to aim to consume 10 litres of water per day. The teams need to filter water from the ocean by using a de-salinator.
• Rowers burn in excess of 5,000 calories per day.
• There is no toilet on board – rowers use a bucket!
• The average rower loses around 8kg during a crossing.
• The fastest row across the Atlantic was a four man team The Four Oarsmen who finished in 29 days, 14 hours and 34 minutes
• In the 2016 race, solo rower Daryl Farmer arrived in Antigua after 96 days, rowing without a rudder to steer with for nearly 1200miles/40 days
• The fastest solo across the Atlantic was Mark Slats who completed in 30 days, 7 hours and 49 minutes.
