About Oli's Channel Challenge

Help us raise £10,000

Oliver Hancox, 15 yrs old, from Devon has set himself the challenge of crossing the English Channel and raise money for Cancer Research in memory of his Dad.

Oliver is planning to set sail the Summer 2010 in a 1969 Silhouette called "Cariad" - meaning "Love" in Welsh.

The boat has now been restored and is kept in Plymouth with the very kind support of Mayflower Marina.

More frustration... My crossing was set for last Friday, but I've had to delay because of this weather - low pressures over the Channel are causing 12ft waves and 25 - 30kt winds.

Great coverage from ITV last night so a big thank you to all the team for such a brilliant report.
