Two crewmates will use a tiny upcycled 50-year-old 'dinghy with a lid' to cross the Atlantic Ocean unassisted in aid of four charities. The project partners with maritime manufacturers to combine technologies to ensure the crossing is safe while using only renewable energy.

Skipper, John-Kenneth 'JK' Habbershaw, is a Marine Surveyor and Electrician at WillMyBoatFloat Ltd. He started the project to assist his recovery from PTSD when he needed a project to help him move from his couch, and so the 'Sofa To Sailboat' name was born.

Joining him is First Mate Farris Collins, a former Team GB powerlifter and four-time Commonwealth gold medal champion; however, he has never sailed before. Forget about "Couch to 5K"; his journey really is from Sofa To Sailboat!
