Vela Code
Water Revolution Foundation was honoured to have been selected by Dan Lenard as one of two beneficiary organisations for his courageous Vela Code endeavour. Dan sailed solo across the Atlantic Ocean to raise awareness of ocean pollution, something we can all very well relate to thanks to our experiences in the yachting industry. Dan successfully completed his crossing on 3 March 2019, covering over 7,700 km with no engine, compass or GPS – just the sun, stars and a strong desire to make a change. Thank you for your support, Dan!
