Capsize Test for 'Beech Boys Atlantic' (showing Norman and James escaping from the boat's cabin)

Norman and James Beech (Beech Boys Atlantic) are preparing to row 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, from La Gomera to Antigua.

This shows the capsize test for the boat where the boat was held upside-down and Norman and James escape through the hatch.

Pleased to say that the boat was difficult to get upside-down in the first place! ...and when released it quickly self-righted due to the 150kg of water ballast located on the boat's keel.

Make sure to look at all the sponsors who have made the adventure possible and get in touch if you would be able to help in any way!
