P20 - a vital crew member at Cowes Week

Competitors at the most prestigious event in the sailing calendar were given the opportunity to try P20 for themselves at Cowes last year. Sailors were offered enough P20 to protect them from the sun for a day. P20 is so useful in sailing conditions. Once applied it can be totally forgotten – and it will carry on protecting from the sun’s rays despite spray (or even an unfortunate ducking). Sailing and being out on the water can cause severe burning in strong sunlight.  P20 will be there again at Cowes Week 2000. Visit Cowes Health Store in the High Street for your FREE SAMPLE of P20 throughout Cowes Week 2000!

P20 rows from London to Paris

In May 1999 Jock Wishart led a squad of top British rowers an extraordinary recording-breaking challenge. The squad rowed from central London, down the River Thames to the estuary, across and along the English Channel and then up the River Seine to central Paris.

The previous record for this amazing test of strength and stamina was set in 1990 by a crew from the Metropolitan Police. Jock’s team – The CNA Maritime Challenge Team – undertook the 490 miles (772 kilometres) – and smashed the record by several hours.

Jock first heard about P20 when he was a crew member in the Cable & Wireless Adventurer round-the-world, record-breaking voyage of 1998. The crew were supplied with P20 then and Jock was so impressed he wanted to use P20 again for this new record breaking challenge.
