Description

Time once again for the incredible swim from Rathlin Island to Ballycastle. This year, amazingly, the course was increased to 6.5 miles! The film also shows a Rathlin boat taking people over to Rathlin and back. The crowds are wonderful. 

The winner of this event was Peter Hatfield (Middlesbrough) in 1 hour 21 minutes, with Kendall Mellor (Keighley) second in 1 hour 25 minutes and Bryan Finlay (Coventry) third in 1 hour 29 minutes.   

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
