Welcome! My name is Tommy Tippetts and this is my website covering my attempt to row the Atlantic Ocean, setting out in January 2012.

Below is my blog where you will be able to keep up to date with all areas of my preparation, from sponsors to securing a boat and all my training to prepare for such a challenge.

Please also take some time to look at why I am doing this row, raising money and awareness for mental health in this country and any small donation you can make will go a long way to improving lives of many people around the UK. Please click below to sponsor me on my row in aid of Mind. I am hoping to raise £25,000 for the charity and any contribution you can make, small or big, would be gratefully received.

The guys came 4th in the pairs class and considering the conditions, 67 days is a fantastic time. Much more information can be found on the website and I have put up so photos on the gallery. I can’t wait to get her out on the water and start training and will get some more photos up once that has happened. When...

Open publication - Free publishing - More atlantic   Things have been moving on with the sponsorship aspects of this project. Alex, who has done all the photography to date, has created the brochure above that I am going to use to approach companies.

I personally thing the brochure looks absolutely awesome, especially as this is the first design idea Alex has ever done! It would be great to hear other thoughts on it, so feel free to comment.       ...
