Atlantic Challenge Team USA Contest Training Expedition in Penobscot Bay, Maine
Sun July 10 - Sun July 24, 2022
Join Atlantic Challenge Team USA and learn to maneuver the 38 ft, ten oared, dipping lug Bantry Bay gigs with skill and style.
We will start in Rockland, Maine, and transport ourselves to Greens Island, next to Vinalhaven, via powerboat or ferry. We'll base camp on Greens Island for the first week, sleep in tents, live without electricity, and become a cohesive team on and off the water.
We'll start the second week with a passage north to Belfast, camping on two or three islands along the way. Once in Belfast, we'll stay in town, and compete in the various Atlantic Challenge Events during the day for the last 3-4 days of the program. The program ends in Belfast the morning of July 24th after breakfast. Additional details to follow.
You have a choice for this to be either a stand-alone two week program in Maine (7/10-7/24) or the first half of a two-part program for those who wish to travel internationally and participate in the weeklong Atlantic Challenge International Contest in St. Petersburg, Russia from July 25-August 8, 2022.
For those participating in both the Maine training and Russia programs, you will have a rest day in Belfast before traveling to St. Petersburg via plane on 7/26. More information on going to Russia here.
This program is generally oriented towards those ages 15-the twenties, and limited to 22 people total including instructors. If you are older than this age range and wish to participate, please get in touch! Exceptions may be made.
