TALISKER WHISKY ATLANTIC CHALLENGE:ARRIVING IN ANTIGUA IN JANUARY 2022
An adventure that will take participants over 4,800 kilometers (2,600 nautical miles) west from San Sebastián in La Gomera, Canary Islands (28oN 18oW) to Nelson's Dockyard English Harbor, Antigua and Barbuda (17oN 61oW). The annual race kicks off in early December, with up to thirty teams from all over the world competing. The race structure creates an environment in which teams from all over the world congregate in the race village of San Sebastián on the Canary Islands' La Gomera. The energy is palpable as people help one another prepare for the challenge of crossing the Atlantic Ocean. All with the same goal in mind: rowing across an ocean in a rowing boat.
