Cork-based marine company attempting trans-Atlantic record in Bond-esque boat

In 2017, the team set a record in their Thunder Child boat for the circumnavigation of Ireland via Rockall, an islet 500km into the North Atlantic, one of the most dangerous seas on Earth.

A Cork-based boat building company is attempting to set a new trans-Atlantic world record in their newest vessel - the XSV20 Thunder Child II.

Established in 1996, Safehaven Marine has supplied over 130 vessels to 26 countries across the world.
