When the going gets tough, real bravery shows its best, giving you the opportunity to turn a challenge into an opportunity.
That is the moment when the heart of a sailor knows what it means to be Made by the Sea.

Inspired by a photograph of The MacLean Brothers.
Jamie, Lachlan and Ewan are Charlie MacLean's three admirable sons who rowed the Atlantic Ocean in 35 days for the Atlantic Campaigns.
With little rowing experience, two students and an engineer with a dream made their way to the books of records. In doing so, they raised money for Feedback Madagascar and Children 1st, two charitable missions they support.
And for the same charitable cause, they developed with their father two unique whiskeys, a blended malt called MacLean's Pillage and a blended Scotch, MacLean's Spillage.
As they plan their next adventure, they celebrate the great news that Charles MacLean has been awarded an MBE for his services to the whiskey industry, exports, and charity. Many reasons to toast with a shot of whiskey!

The BROAR team took 35 days to reach Antigua from La Gomera, after paddling 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean for the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge.
They are the first three brothers to paddle in any ocean, the youngest trio in paddle the Atlantic Ocean and the fastest trio to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
As they rowed to the record books, they raised funds for two major causes Feedback Madagascar and Children 1st with their great initiative: Whiskey for Water.
Congratulations to the MacLean brothers and everyone who was part of that dream.

Another view of the Safety Yatch of Atlantic Campaigns for Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge cross the Atlantic Ocean.
All skippers and crew do an excellent job taking care of the crews, working and sleeping in shifts, through the unpredictable weather, often racking up many more miles than the crews themselves.
They also send amazing live images from the Atlantic to keep all observers up to date.

After 73 days of crossing the Atlantic Ocean, the 2020 Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge ended with Craig Forsyth's Spoarting Chance team.
It all started in La Gomera, Africa, and ended in Nelson’s Dockyard English Harbor, Antigua.
The 21 boats, with 55 rowers from 9 different countries, crossed the 3000 miles that separate both ports safely.
