Sofa To Sailboat
3842
Two crewmates will use a tiny upcycled 50-year-old 'dinghy with a lid', a Leisure 17 sailboat, to cross the Atlantic Ocean alone and unassisted in aid of four charities: Macmillan*, Mind*, MS-UK, and St Helena Hospice.
The skipper, John-Kenneth 'JK' Habbershaw, is a health-retired Emergency Service volunteer. He started the project to assist and focus on his recovery from PTSD while also using the opportunity to spread help and hope to others. He needed to get up off his living room couch, so the 'Sofa To Sailboat' name was born.
Joining him is First Mate Farris Collins, a former Team GB powerlifter and four-time Commonwealth gold medal champion. He is no stranger to pushing himself to the limit; however, this challenge is an entirely new one for him, as he has never sailed before. Forget about "Couch to 5K"; his journey really is from Sofa To Sailboat!
Sofa To Sailboat has teamed up with leading maritime manufacturers to combine new technologies to ensure the crossing is safe while using only renewable energy: wind for the sails and solar power for a rechargeable electric outboard motor.
Our journey has begun. Join Us.
*50% of the Macmillan and Mind donations will be directly allocated by the charities to be used in the North East Essex, and East of England regions.
