It’s still night at the destination of English Harbor on the Caribbean island of Antigua when the winners of the world’s toughest rowing race set foot on Sunday for the first time after five weeks on the high seas. The winners? The Swiss Men’s quartet “Swiss Raw”, which makes history with the triumph in the crazy Atlantic Challenge: For the first time, a team from a non Coastal Country could win.
