Global Circumnavigation Challenge
Our latest project is the bid by British ocean adventurer Alan Priddy to design and build the fastest and most efficient wave-piercing powerboat to circumnavigate the globe for the much coveted UIM world record, which is currently held by the New Zealander Pete Bethune at 60 days 23 hours 49 minutes.

Around and Around
As Lively Lady sailed around the world it rapidly became clear the project had the potential to involve and benefit a far greater number of young adults. So, working with sponsors, supporters and the young adults who have graduated from The Raymarine Lively Lady Project, 'Around and Around' was born.

Atlantic Challenge 1997
As Alan says "It was back in 1995 that I had the idea to cross the Atlantic via the Arctic Circle, at which time everyone that had heard about it either said we were mad or it was going to be a stunt." Well, they did it!
