Hello to all following us and thank you for your patience!

We have some recent developments on the challenge.  Namely the boat and the sponsors we got onboard so as to speak!  Over the last few months we have seen some large sponsors come onboard from the oil and gas industry, DOF (district Offshore) BP, Transocean, RWE and Technip a subsea engineering and construction company.  We have also had a pledge from a company called Nexen who are a leading company in global energy services. 

This in turn has enabled us to push forward with the building of the boat.  We still have a long way to go and desperately need to find equipment for the boat e.g. VHF radio EPIRBS and GPS amongst other things to get the boat sea worthy!  I have attached some photos of the boat for all to see…. Oh and I nearly forgot we have a name for her too.  The boat will be named ‘Papa Delta’ this is an abrieviation in phonetic for Parkinsons Disease it is also a significant to the person who chose the name of the boat for us.
