Row The Rock Completed In Record Time

A group of Manxmen have rowed their way into the record books.

15 men set off in a traditional Viking long boat at 1:21PM Monday lunchtime.

Just before 3PM on Tuesday they have arrived back in a Peel to a huge welcome in a time of 25 hours and 29 minutes.

They have smashed the previous world record set in 1995.

They're took on the 90 mile non stop journey, with a bunch of men who had never rowed before, all in aid of local charities.

One of the organisers Richard Trubshaw said it was amazing to have finished such a challenge and to be new world record holders. (audio above)
