Swimming across Corryvreckan

Post by ash »

Hi

Just worked on Dundee Mountain Film Festival.

One of the films featured Deano Dunbar swimming across the Gulf of Corryvreckan. Deano is registered blind with the progressive condition, "Rod and Cone Dystrophy". This swim was part of Deano's training programme as he planned to swim across the English Channel.

The film is available on You Tube

Do we know the yacht in the second minute of the film?

Edit - can't remember how to embed video - need to go out.

OK, so I 'stole' one of Silkie's video posts, and copied the link.

Think Silkie should add an example to his FAQs page
