The Great Loop, a continuous waterway that encompasses the eastern portion of North America, has long been a coveted challenge for mariners. Recently, Captain Red Flowers shattered previous records by completing this arduous route in just 19 days, 19 hours, and 50 minutes. This incredible feat not only highlighted his navigational prowess but also his commitment to raising funds for the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. Seaspension is proud to have been a part of his journey, providing the comfort and support needed to endure such a demanding voyage.
Captain Red Flowers embarked on this journey with a dual-engine boat, aiming to break the standing records. The previous record for a single-engine boat was 34 days, while the dual-engine record stood at 28 days. Flowers not only surpassed these records but did so while navigating some of the most challenging waters on the route. His mission was not only to achieve a personal milestone but also to support a noble cause, raising awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research.
Enduring long hours on the water can take a toll on even the most experienced mariners. The constant pounding of waves and the vibrations from high-speed travel can lead to significant physical strain. This is where Seaspension's shock-absorbing pedestals made a difference. Captain Flowers equipped his boat with two Seaspension pedestals, which played a crucial role in his journey.
Seaspension pedestals are designed to absorb shock waves and reduce the impact of repetitive pounding, making long voyages significantly more comfortable. This innovative technology allowed Captain Flowers to maintain higher speeds through rough waters, ensuring that his back and legs were protected from the constant jolts and vibrations.
The comfort provided by Seaspension pedestals meant that Captain Flowers could push his limits without compromising his physical well-being. The reduced fatigue and enhanced support allowed him to stay focused and maintain optimal performance throughout the journey. This advantage was crucial in helping him complete the Great Loop in record-breaking time.
Captain Flowers' journey was not just about setting a new record; it was about making a difference. By supporting the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, he aimed to bring hope and resources to children and families affected by cancer. His dedication to this cause inspired many, and his successful completion of the Great Loop brought significant attention to the foundation's mission.

Captain Red Flowers took on the Great Loop Challenge with the goal of raising awareness and funds for the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. The Great Loop, a roughly 6,500-mile system of waterways around the continental United States, is a daunting journey under any circumstances.

These pedestals played a vital role in enhancing the comfort and performance of the boat, allowing Captain Red Flowers to maintain faster speeds even through rough waters.
Enhanced Comfort: Long hours on the water can be punishing, especially when navigating choppy conditions. The Seaspension pedestals absorbed the impact of waves and boat movements, protecting Captain Red Flowers and his crew from the jarring jolts and vibrations typical in such a journey. This superior comfort meant less fatigue and more focus, crucial for maintaining the intense pace required to break the record.
Improved Speed: The stability and comfort provided by Seaspension pedestals allowed Captain Red Flowers to push the boat to higher speeds safely. The ability to travel quickly through rough waters without compromising crew safety or comfort was a significant advantage, shaving valuable time off the journey.
