Globe Print has provided the wrap for a boat in which four men rowed, non-stop, for 3,200 miles from Lanzarote in the Canary Islands to the island of Antigua in the Caribbean, in a challenge dubbed the ‘Atlantic Dash'.
For the job, the Marlow-based company used Drytac Polar Matte Grip, printed on its Roland SolJet EJ-640, and paired it with Interlam Pro Emerytex overlaminate.
The graphics, featuring the many sponsors supporting the event, were applied to the boat on location in Lanzarote prior to the team setting off on their journey in early March, with the quartet making land in Antigua on 2 May 2021.
Barry Hayes, director of Monkey Fist Adventures which arranged the dash, said: “Oceans are harsh on everything, but our sponsors - and their logos - remained solid and steadfast for the entirety of both the Atlantic Dash crossings.The Globe Print team went above and beyond to produce the printed graphics exceedingly quickly - as they knew we had very tight timeframes."
The Atlantic Dash has raised more than £8,000 for two very worthy causes: Humen, a movement to improve and maintain men's mental health; and Dean Farm Trust, an organisation committed to working for a sustainable, healthy and cruelty-free planet.
