Talisker Atlantic Challenge World Record

Mark Slats and Kai Wiedmer are the winners of the Talisker Atlantic rowing race 2020-2021.

They rowed with a Koopmans designed DOR12

First boat all classes

World record pairs

 

Together with John Schouten I also did the routing during the race.

At Koopmans Kasko's the frames are placed and the shell is halfway.

 

 

 

 

Better sheeting position on JAGER

 

Although Jager was fast last year, to stay ahead I tried this new sheeting position. It works well. Speed increases and heel decreases.
