Aberdeen-based well engineering and project management specialist Zenith Energy has announced its sponsorship of Team Remiges Quinque (V) as they prepare to take on the World’s Toughest Row in December 2026 – one of the most gruelling endurance challenges on the planet.
Known for pushing boundaries in some of the world’s most challenging offshore environments, Zenith Energy is proud to support the five-strong crew – hailing from Peterhead, Fife, Glasgow, and South Shields. They will embark on a 3,000-mile journey across the Atlantic Ocean, rowing unsupported from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to English Harbour, Antigua.
Competing under the name Remiges Quinque (V), the team’s mission is driven by a shared passion for adventure, camaraderie, and charity, with their efforts aiming to raise vital funds and awareness for several worthy causes – Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity, Mind, Body & Sole and MND Scotland.
Martin Booth, Managing Director at Zenith Energy, says, “We’re delighted to be one of Team Remiges’ ‘Super 16’ sponsors and to lend our support to such an incredible challenge. The team’s courage, teamwork, and determination perfectly reflect the values we live by at Zenith Energy. We’ll be following their progress closely and cheering them on every mile of the way.”
Will Mackie, 43, of Peterhead – Team Remiges Quinque (V) Captain, says, “Taking on the World’s Toughest Row is an enormous undertaking – both physically and financially. The support of our sponsors makes this challenge possible, from securing our boat and essential equipment to training and logistics. We’re incredibly grateful to Zenith Energy and all our sponsors for believing in our team and helping us bring this adventure to life. Every contribution gets us one stroke closer to the start line.”
The World’s Toughest Row is renowned as one of the hardest endurance events in the world, testing physical strength, mental resilience, and teamwork to the extreme. Teams face relentless conditions, from high winds and powerful swells to sleep deprivation and isolation, as they row continuously for over a month.
Zenith Energy’s sponsorship forms part of the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting individuals and initiatives that exemplify teamwork, perseverance, and community spirit.
