Showing outstanding qualities of courage, determination, endurance, commitment, tenacity and skill throughout an epic journey around Great Britain and Ireland in a Mini 6.5, 25 year old Ben has succeeded in his ambitious goal to sail non-stop around Great Britain and Ireland. Ben has successfully completed his RBI challenge, crossing the finish line at 0625 hrs UTC 25 July 2009. 15 days 3 hours 8 minutes. This amazing feat to our knowledge has never before been achieved non-stop in a Mini 6.5------ a ‘World First'. ------------------------------. A huge thanks to all those people behind the scenes who have helped and supported Ben over many months to make this happen and special thanks to Brian Thompson for all the help with weather routing and for always being at the end of the phone with support and encouragement.-----------Office, Ben Rogerson Racing.
