In 1967 a variety of boats and rowers proved that it was, with the first crew finishing in just under five hours (fastest boats now finish in under 2hrs). Today it is still one of the great sporting challenges in the Channel Islands and a hotly contested but friendly inter-insular.

The course takes competitors from the start in Dixcart Bay across open water to the Paternosers reef where they turn and follow Jersey’s north coast towards Bonne Nuit Bay. Crews must row round the Cheval Rock before crossing the finish line. By the time they hit dry land they will have rowed about 26.7 Kms with cross tides and the infamous choppy outfalls off Sark, not to mention any other conditions the weather throws at them (it feels a lot longer).

The top crews from both islands will be there but so will many inexperienced teams of friends from workplaces, clubs and families. It is a rare sporting event where novices can race alongside seasoned competitors and still share the same incredible feeling of achievement – no matter how long they’ve taken or how many blisters they have.

The race is followed by an evening prize giving and buffet dinner. Ticket numbers are limited and sell out quickly so please buy early if you don’t want to be disappointed.
