Keith Skidmore and Graham Walters in Tenerife

     Keith (40 yrs old)   is a physical education instructor from Narborough and Graham (49 yrs old) is a Carpenter from Leicester. They have combined their skills learnt through their jobs to build the boat and train. In Tenerife Keith was complaining at the local pub that they spent so much time building the boat they were unable to train. Their were many who thought they wouldn't finish their boat in time for the start of the race and when they did everyone cheered. All the more remarkable they are in 4th place and making good progress, credit to them going South and finding favorable weather but mostly they are proveing themselves very game racers. If anyone has information or press clips on Keith and Graham please send them to webmaster@oceanrowing.com and we would love to post them.
