Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge 2017 summary

Atlantic Campaigns, the organiser of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, has released its 2017 race summary video.

Watch the Atlantic Campaigns video below to see the kind of challenges Heads Together and Row will face when they take on this year’s race.
