The Big V Sail is the most exciting addition to this year’s sailing calendar! Setting sail for Cork in the first ever ‘Big V’ yacht race, sponsored by Virgin Money, Ben Fogle will be setting sail from Gunwharf Quays on Monday 10 July 2006 and hoping to set the first World Sailing Record (WSSRC) for the fasted boat from Portsmouth to Cork, whilst raising money for Everyman Male testicular and prostrate Cancer campaign at the same time.
Ben Fogle’s book about crossing the Atlantic with James Cracknell is due to be launched later this year and will now be called “The Crossing: Conquering the Atlantic in the World’s Toughest Rowing Race”.
You can pre-order the book from Amazon…
Here’s what the papers have to say about it:
“An incredible test of physical and mental endurance.”
- Daily Mail
“The world’s foremost naked transatlantic rowers - The pair have crossed the Atlantic using nothing but the power of their own arms in a boat built from a flat-pack, enduring terrible weather, erratic water supplies and a life-threatening capsize just days from the finishing line.”
- Daily Telegraph
Atlantic Books will be publishing the only account of Ben Fogle and James Cracknell’s unbelievable undertaking, the Atlantic Rowing Race 2005, in time for Christmas 2006. However, you can now pre-order “Two Naked Men in a Boat”
Synopsis
When James Cracknell and Ben Fogle decided to compete in the Atlantic Rowing Race, they thought they knew what awaited them: nearly three thousand miles of empty ocean, stormy weather and colossal physical stress. But their epic journey would become at times, a living hell that tested the strength of every fibre of their being. Yet, forty seven days later, James and Ben were the first pair to cross the finishing line - overtaking one of the fourman teams in the process - becoming the first British pair ever to win the race. They pushed themselves physically, psychologically and emotionally to the limit. They survived without water rations for two days, lost the few clothes they had in a freak wave, capsized, hallucinated, wept, fought, played games, grew beards, nursed blisters and rowed 2,930 miles. They will never be the same again.
