Canoe the World

Sponsors & Opportunities

 

Canoe The World would like to thank all those who have assisted in this project. Their practical help and moral support has been a great boost. We are very happy to list them on this page and where possible their logos will link you directly to the relevant websites.

We would particularly like to thank the editorial team at London Newsquest who have run several articles about the project and have offered a great deal of support along the way.

All sponsors are provided with a link to their sites. If you would like to see your logo on this page why not learn more about the trip to see what goods we still need. Contact us to discuss any financial assistance you may be able to offer.

The team at SP Systems, in the Isles of Wight, have been invaluable in the planning and building of the canoes. Their products have been used throughout in the canoe hulls. We particularly want to thank Martin for his almost daily assistance!
Sowester have provided 2 Magellan 315's - doubtless Gordon will be very grateful indeed for this help once he gets underway!
LEWMAR Lewman have kindly donated two 4kg Deltas to support the trip. These anchors will prove invaluable during the journey as they will be easy to handle.
