Talisker whisky atlantic challenge 2021
In December 2021, team “SWISS RAW – Atlantic” (Roman Möckli, Ingvar Groza, Jan Hurni and Samuel Widmer) set off on a rowing race of around 5000 kilometres across the Atlantic without outside support - The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
As winners of the race, we arrived in Antigua on 16 January 2022 more than a day ahead of the second-placed team and made history!
Thanks to the support of sponsors and equipment partners, we were able to achieve this common goal and raise CHF 20,000 for the Swiss children's aid organisation Kovive .
