Pedalo Challenge Objectives
The aim of this Pedalo Challenge is for PJ Stevens and one other person to pedalo around the Isle of Wight, a distance of some 60 miles, with tidal movement and weather, the actual distance covered may be somewhat further and will certainly feel much further. Guesstimates suggest that a time of 40 hours is possible for the Challenge subject to prevailing conditions.
We are planning to build a new pedalo for the challenge, similar to the artist impressions pictured on this site. The ‘boat’ will be powered by two people pedalling and have two guest seats which can be used for guests, media and clients at events. We need to build a purpose built pedalo design with two recumbent cycles powering a propeller, a cool box (only joking...) and basic safety equipment. Both pedalo partners will pedal non-stop to circumnavigate the Island.
This challenge will be undertaken by PJ Stevens and a celebrity partner (to be confirmed), to raise money and awareness for South Coast charity Champion Behaviours www.championbehaviours.com together with a more main stream charity, yet to be decided – possibly the BBC’s Children in Need charity or the chosen Charity of our Sponsor.
We are seeking a title sponsor, several product partners and supporters to help with this tough challenge. To express your interest in this Challenge, please call us for further information.
In addition to sponsors and partners, we will be in need of marketing support, PR and media coverage. Therefore if you can help us network in these areas, we will be delighted to hear from you.
It is in PJ’s ambitions to break the current 24 Hour World Powerboat Record that was set around the Isle of Wight and the One Lap Record of the Island held by Team Negotiator at over 100mph. In a conversation with a colleague, it was decided that whilst funding was sought for a series of World Powerboat Records, PJ would undertake the slowest lap of the Island for fun in aid of Charity.
