Official Suppliers
Emerald Harbor Marine is the systems specialists. They maintain commitment to the highest quality service, no matter how big or small the project. Their mission is not only to provide the best in equipment, but to ensure that your equipment functions to its peak level in concert with all other onboard equipment. On the North Atlantic we put our lives in the capable hands of these guys in 2006, and 71 days later we made it safe to shore with communications, water, and plenty of power to make more. We’re thankful to have them onboard again.
Sol Sunguard is right when it says that “all sunblocks are not created equal.” Sol Sunguard kept four Pacific Northwest pale white guys from frying to a crisp during our record-setting campaign in the 2006 North Atlantic Rowing Race. Their Emulsion-Loc(tm) technology is formulated for different sport environments. ”Skin friendly, formulated for sport,” and formulated for ocean rowers.
Bottom Siders designed the puzzle-like cushion system for our cabin & kept our bottom sides comfy, with each custom designed seat pad enduring a 24/7 beating from New York to England – and STILL more comfortable than any competitor’s pad after 71 days. Based out of Hoquiam, WA, Lori & Scott have been making the leading cockpit cushion for sail and power boats for 30 years.
Fact: de la Estancia polenta is a staple ocean rower’s meal. Nearly every evening on the North Atlantic Ocean we cooked up this “not instant” milled flint corn polenta in 1-minute, added spices & cheese, and kept ourselves well-nourished. It is a certified organic, completely natural product that cooks quickly because corn that grows in Argentina is different than corn grown in Europe and the US, resulting in a superior polenta that’s high in protein, low starch, and is smooth & creamy.
In 2006, Capt. Pat Boyle made sure that we wouldn’t die on the North Atlantic Ocean. When faced with life-or-death decisions on the water, your best asset is your brain. But you need to train your brain to know what to look for to survive. For our next two expeditions, we’re being trained under the watchful eyes of Pat & Graeme at Q3 Marine Training Solutions in Anacortes, WA to help make sure we get home safe. Q3 Marine Training Solutions provides comprehensive training and educational programs for all sea-going personnel in order to create and maintain a competent and professional maritime work force
Grants-Supporting Programs
The Seattle Yacht Club Foundation rallied with us in 2006, and this maritime community-based organization graciously will financially support OAR Northwest education programs for the Salish Expedition. The Foundation’s purpose is to promote interest and participation in boating activities and programs, with particular emphasis on young people. We’re excited to put this valuable gift toward connecting local students with OAR Northwest expedition team members, the marine environment and their own thirst for adventure and knowledge.
The Pacific Marine Foundation supports OAR Northwest’s education program for the Salish Expedition. The foundation offers other nonprofit groups, such as ours, a way to utilize the benefit of donated vessels made to them. By concentrating efforts in this way, and by continuing to broaden their network of generous boat donations, the foundation provides an additional level of financial assistance to OAR Northwest. Funding will ensure competitive grants are made available Seattle Public School schools to participate in dynamic OAR Northwest programs.
