Delighted to have the support of Gemini Marine UK. These guys produce the most seaworthy, reliable and good-looking RHIBs on the market... perfect to support our pedalo team as we head around the Isle of Wight this week!
Thank you Gemini for all your support.
The final countdown has begun! We are excited to announce that (weather depending) we will attempt to round the Isle of Wight on this fine looking pedalo this Thursday (13th July)! Please visit our justgiving page, which is now live, to give our team the support they need! https://www.justgiving.com/companyteams/p rojectkestrel
Lets hope that we see some dolphins like these during our challenge! 🐬🚤
Today sees the launch of our Just Giving page! As you may or may not know we are trying to raise awareness and money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the Hamble Lifeboat. As much support as possible for these two great cases would be much appreciated.

Thank you for all your support so far, Project Kestrel is now changing tack. Sad though it is, after much consideration we have decided that with exams looming we don't have enough time to finish building our much loved machine. However, fear not, the project will still go ahead on another pedalo. Here is a video of our test day at Leam Boat Centre Ltd
Sign up sheet comes down 13:30 tomorrow so if you are intrested, this is your last chance to sign up! Both uppers and lowers are welcome!
