Onboard the victorious boat was David Alley, Matthew Henderson, Craig Cox and Scott Collins, finishing in 43:23:90, within a minute of their 2022 time.
The under-12 boys and girls’ expert class was claimed by the Thirsty boat, with the crew Andrew Gerrand, Ryan Moss, Jessica Gerrand and Jenna McDonald posting an effort good enough to cross the line in 56:22:30.
