We joined the Swiss 44west rowing team for the launch of their SGS-branded boat ahead of the World’s Toughest Row – a 3,000-mile race starting December 12, powered by trust, teamwork, performance and sustainability.
Celebrating the launch
We are proud to sponsor the 44west rowing team, a four-person Swiss crew preparing to compete in the World’s Toughest Row – a 5,000-kilometer ocean crossing from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua.
The team officially unveiled their new boat on Oct 26 in Zug, Switzerland, marking a major milestone on their journey toward the starting line. We were delighted to join the crew for the launch event and celebrate the next chapter in their extraordinary adventure.
Shared values, shared commitment
The 44west crew has spent months preparing for this challenge, training relentlessly and fine-tuning every detail of their boat to ensure peak performance. Their determination, endurance and unity embody the same values of trust, teamwork and performance that drive us every day – with sustainability as our common commitment.
The countdown begins
With the boat ready, we are nearing the starting line. As 44west gears up for the World’s Toughest Row, beginning on December 12, we stand proudly behind the team as they take on one of the world’s greatest endurance tests – proving that with the right team, mindset and purpose, anything is possible.
