CLOTHING
What clothing do you need to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a tiny 'Dinghy with a lid'?
Our crew will need specialist and regular clothing for their Atlantic crossing; though due to the small size of the boat and storage at a premium, we will have to choose what we take on board carefully.
We have been supported by Typhoon International for our outer technical clothing.
We will also utilise high-quality, refurbished, or last-season clothing where possible to uphold our green pledge. We are hoping to find sponsors and suppliers that might be able to help us.

To wash our clothing, our skipper will pack his Scrubba Wash Bag. It is a washer designed for Hotel and Travel Washing. It is lightweight and compact, allowing for easy storage when rolled up. We'll use it with eco and ocean-friendly laundry detergent and rationed fresh water from our desalinator (water maker).
