Team Atlantic Splash, a five-man crew based at Worthing Rowing Club, will attempt the 3,000-mile crossing in December, after a ‘mad’ idea turned into a reality.
Neal Marsh, Bastien Leclair, Terry Munson, Tom Hyland and Marc Alderman hope to raise £200,000 for four charities along the way, but still need a further £40,000 sponsorship to cover the costs of their trip.
