Tom Robinson's Pacific Journey
Tom Robinson's Pacific Journey is certainly an unusual project for us, but one we are pleased to be associated with for our small part. Tom is aiming to become the youngest person ever to row solo across the Pacific Ocean. Tom designed and built his boat by hand, and when he approached us to use our Austral AAA Marine Plywood we were happy to sponsor him with what he needed.
"My first sponsor was the local plywood mill. Austral Plywoods have been making the finest quality Hoop Pine plywood for almost 100 years. Their factory is not far from where I live. One day I put on my best clothes after work and stopped in on my way home. I had with me a fancy printout with my aspirations to row across the Pacific Ocean. And that was about all I had, a printout, plans for a boat, and a dream. So, it was a real joy when I received an email saying they would be happy to support my journey."
