The race has been completed and the boys have returned safely. They have said "a huge thanks to Dorset Flapjacks for the support they gave us and the flapjacks provided us with exactly the energy we needed." We couldn't have been more excited about their adventures and were proud to be part of their amazing feat. They not only rowed the Atlantic but they were the youngest people to ever row an ocean, and as far as we know are being featured in the Guiness world records. We would like to express our congratulatons and look forward to their next adventure? We doubt they are even thinking about anything else, and enjoying a well earned rest. Well done lads.
Two inspiring young men, Tom Heal and Will Smith have set themselves a challenge the size of the 
Atlantic. They have decided to take part in the Woodvale Atlantic Row Race 2009. A 2548 Nuatical Mile race from La Gomera in th Canary Islands to Antigua in the West Indies. It has been non stop since day one with getting sponsorship, buying a boat, training, preping and getting to the start line. There has been a delay in the start for a few weeks due to bad weatherbut there is now a break in this and they have set off. They started at lunch time on the 4th January 2009 and have rowed 42 Nautical Miles at the last update. To follow these two inspiring chaps for yourselves please visit their website (www.atlanticrowyt.co.uk) or follow Dorset Flapjacks on Twitter were we will update you as and when we know anything. Dorset Flajacks have provided the team with high energy flapjacks and some sponsorship to get them on their way. We wish them all the luck in the world and will see them when they finish.
