Katrina Hemingway
I am a keen fell runner (WSEN Age 30) and sailor looking for a boat to join for this year’s Scottish Island Peaks Race. It would be my first time on the race but I have experience sailing yachts and dinghies in the UK and abroad and have a Competent Crew Certificate as well as an aptitude for cooking on rough seas! I completed the Bob Graham 2 years ago and regularly compete in the Lake District, where I am from, as a member of Ambleside AC.
I would be happy to get involved with any required aspects of joining the race and can organise my own transport to the startline. If you have space I’d love to hear from you at hemingwaykatrina@gmail.com
Robbie Winfield
Looking for a boat to join as a runner for this year’s SIPR. I am an experienced ultra runner, aged 38, also with a keen interest in sailing (Day Skipper) albeit mainly in the Solent. Very happy to get stuck in with any jobs on the boat too. Please contact me at rjwinfield@gmail.com or 07742870700.

Experienced fell runner looking for a boat to race! V40 male runner. Could source another runner if needed! Experience: Bob Graham round, Jura fell race x3, Wasdale X4, Old county Tops etc. Any questions at all just let me know! That_alan_smithson@hotmail.co.uk or 07763900387.
Graham Law
I’m looking for a boat to join for this year’s Scottish Island Peaks Race. I’ve taken part in the 3 Peaks Yacht Race as few years ago and enjoyed it immensely so hoping to set sail again. I’ve got plenty of experience with ultramarathons and mountain running, my most recently challenges being the Spine race in Jan and the Western States 100 in the summer. I would be happy to let you know more about my running CV upon request.
I’m happy to get stuck into all aspects of the race, from big hill days to boat jobs. I helped out with the cooking and also got involved with the sailing in the 3 Peaks Yacht Race.
If you’ve got a space for a runner, I’d love to hear from you! graham12@hotmail.com or 07402714237
(I can help search for a second runner also)

Oli Warlow
Hi, i’m Oli the skipper of Pickle – Rustler36 – for this year’s race. Unfortunately we have lost one of our sailing crew to injury and are looking for a last minute replacement sailor. This will be my 6th SIPR and I have sailed the West coast my whole life so I would hope to give you a fun race around the islands despite us not being the fastest boat (unless it blows a gale all weekend to which our ocean going capabilities are more suited). Proven racing skills and the ability to leap around the foredeck after stray spinnakers isn’t required (a bonus of course), we are looking for someone who ideally has experience of West coast or similar sailing and is going to be comfortable helming (tiller steering) at night and importantly is in it to have a fun weekend. Pickle is based in Dunstaffnage so we would have a shakedown sail on Thursday ideally for you to get familiar with the boat whilst moving her round to Oban for the start. Give me a message/whatsapp on 07738260668 if you are interested and we can have a chat.
Services team
We have a services team in need of a skipper. Rest of team and boat is lined up and ready to go. Please email SIPR and we’ll put you in touch.
