Power cuts, Haribo and stew: UK rowers brave mid-Atlantic Christmas

Four Britons taking part in 3,000-mile rowing challenge from Canary Islands to Antigua and Barbuda

Rowers from the UK enjoyed reindeer stew and endured a power failure on Christmas Day as they steered a course across the Atlantic Ocean.

Three fathers - Steve Woolley, 47, from Harrogate, Neil Furminger, 58, and Matt Garman, 53, both from Seaford in East Sussex - and solo rower Lara Vafiadis, 33, from Malvern in Worcestershire, are crewing two of the boats in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
