A group of 40 enthusiasts from the maritime community in Singapore have come together to undertake a 24 hour endurance sea challenge (if we row fast enough to make the tidal gates), all in aid of the global maritime welfare charity, The Mission to Seafarers.  We hope to raise SGD 750k, to help all those who keep us supplied with the goods we take for granted.

Mission RASI, involves two replica 19^th Century Cornish Pilot Boats being rowed over 140km, taking on the seas and shipping lanes (not to mention two live military firing ranges) to complete a non-stop circumnavigation of the island of Singapore. The event itself will be held during the 50^th anniversary year of Singapore’s independence and coincides with Singapore Maritime Week on 22 April 2015

The beneficiary of this ambitious project is the international maritime welfare charity, The Mission to Seafarers www.missiontoseafarers.org. The target is to raise over S$750,000 for its work. Mission RASI has already generated global press attention, donations and prestigious support.
