The Bristol Channel is a notoriously challenging stretch of water. With the second-highest tidal range in the world, navigating its powerful currents, shifting sandbanks, and frequent strong winds requires great skill and deep local knowledge.

As if that wasn’t challenging enough they have to sail in a similar vessel to those that took part in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race some 50 years ago.
