Rowing in crazy conditions

Last Saturday I raced the NEW Liteboat SPORT against boat stopping winds down the Menai Straits (between Anglesey and Wales) 12 miles (19km) from Beaumaris to Caernarfon. Check out the video above. Then BUY ONE through Ahoy-Boats.

Racing along Menai Straits

It's where I learned to row, at Bangor University. So it is special for me to be able to row there again. But it's especially exciting to scull in a single through the Swellies for two reasons.

  • We didn't have any singles when I was at Bangor.

  • We were not allowed within 200m of the Telford suspension bridge, never mind going into the infamous Swellies!

  • Liteboat do make a coastal racing boat that is longer, slightly slimmer and 25% faster that the LiteSPORT that I shall be racing in tomorrow but whether you are interested in the LiteRACE, LiteSPORT, or the new LiteDOUBLE you will be able to see the quality if you come to Beaumaris tomorrow morning or Caernarfon tomorrow afternoon. Make contact with me on my mobile: 07985 043 981.
