about

me

My name is Gareth Reynolds, I'm a 30 year old seafarer born and bred in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Having always been an active and motivated individual, I enjoy challenging myself in everything I do. But, I have never done something to truly test myself, to find my true limits, and discover what I am really capable of.

 

A little over a year ago, myself and three family members sailed across the Atlantic Ocean. This was a challenge, and the realisation of a family dream, but it left me striving for something bigger. These factors have led me to sign up to a challenge of epic proportions. A challenge that will push me to my absolute limits, both physically and mentally, at the same time as raising money for a cause very close to my heart.

I was born and raised by the sea, and I am the seventh generation in a seafaring family. I work on, in, and around the sea on a daily basis, my hobbies are centered around the ocean, and being on the water is where I feel most at home. With this in mind it seemed only right that the challenge I undertake should be one centered around the ocean, and the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge, widely regarded as the world’s toughest race is the ultimate ocean endurance event.

​

This challenge is very different from your usual endurance event - I will be at sea, alone, for up to 60 days, rowing for up to 20 hours a day, and battling the harsh elements of the Atlantic ocean. I am not a rower, and I am certainly not an endurance athlete. But, I feel my experience at sea, along with my dedication and motivation will provide me with a good platform to launch a successful transatlantic campaign.
