The Rolano is the escort boat to be used by Benoît Lecomte on his 180-day 8,000 km stage swim across the Pacific Ocean.
Lecomte and his support crew (including Strategist Malena Gamboa, Coordinator Tyler Bel, Campaigner Scott Smith, and Skipper Richard) will be onboard the Rolano for an estimated 180 days during The Longest Swim.
