Marine distress signal supplier Wescom Signal and Rescue is sponsoring Latitude 35, a four-man team that will participate in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge — a 3,000-mile ocean rowing race that kicks off this December. The extreme event starts on the Canary Islands and ends in the English Harbour of Antigua, and has raised more than 6 million pounds, roughly $7.8 million, for people in need. “Flares are an essential piece of kit that we must carry, and WesCom Signal and Rescue manufacturers the best on the market,” said LAT35 team member Jimmy Carroll in a statement. “Handling pyrotechnics professionally is key and understanding how to use them is an important part of the preparation we have undertaken to take part in the race.”
