Let Them Eat Cake

Celebrations were the order of the day at Haywards Heath town hall to honour two dedicated young record breakers.

Bristol University graduates, Tom Bright and Charles Bairsto, set out from La Gomera in the Canary Islands in November last year in their 24 foot rowing boat for Antigua.

The pair completed the 2,900 miles Atlantic Rowing Challenge in 59 days, 12 hours and seven minutes, setting a record for the youngest double team.

The icing on the cake came when town mayor Richard Goddard unveiled a detailed cake, made by his wife, depicting the two naked rowers in their plywood vessel Atlantic Warrior.
