An amazing challenge, the three Islanders will pull in excess of 1.5 million oar strokes as they row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic, where waves can measure up to 20ft high - all to raise awareness of ocean pollution
Islanders, Xavier Baker, Chris Mannion and Paul Berry, will be taking part in the 2023 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, known as ‘the world’s toughest row’, in order to raise funds for ocean preservation.
The three year project culminates at the end of 2023, when the three men set off from La Gomera to cross the Atlantic Ocean in their Rannoch 45 rowing boat.
