Round Sheppey race


The Raider's 3.55m wide M20 Vampire had a problem getting round Sheppey in the 2009 Round Sheppey race. The rail bridge linking the island to the mainland is only 3.5m above the water at high water, and unless the Vampire could be there 45 minutes before there was going to be trouble.


With help from spectators William Sunnucks and Ryan Crawford managed to get the boat through with the capsized hull scraping the underside of the bridge.
