Rowers ditch threads to tackle Atlantic

Naked rowers set for ocean trial

Two recruitment consultants have successfully completed a sea trial of their boat ahead of the Atlantic Rowing Race in December. Niall McCann from IT industry specialist Sanderson Recruitment and James Burge from Resource Direct set a world record last month for rowing one million metres on a rowing machine. Nicknamed the Naked Rowers, the pair will attempt the Atlantic challenge without clothes to cut down on chafing.
