This August the crew will travel to St Petersburg along with their 38ft gig and all its equipment hoping to defend their current world title with several new additions who are eager to learn what its like to be part of the ACNI family. This youthful crew is already training multiple times per week in fitness and learning traditional knots and splices. The crew are also repairing their most important crew member the gig, before they undergo intense training weekends in spring to prepare for what Russia will have in store. In between all of the above and their day to days lives each of the crew are hard at work fundraising to keep this opportunity alive. We would welcome any support that you could offer, either financially or in kind. We would be delighted to display your branding on team kit at the event, which would be seen by a wide local, as well as an international audience.
