During the race the ladies from Hamburg had to be prepared for all eventualities, using only the best and most reliable equipment possible. Boat “Doris” is an eight meter long high tech machine and the ladies followed a rigid schedule of rowing and sleeping after months of training.

While rowing for two hours at a time through rough seas, sweating, spindrift and salt water in their faces, professional skin protection was essential. Their favorite product on the journey was the SWOX SPF50 Lotion with maximum sun protection, non-greasy, hypoallergenic, paraben & perfume free formula, and extra waterproof guaranty.
