Set sail to the Isle of Wight and give Sink or Swim a go! Sink or Swim is a “ride” across the River Medina where riders navigate a pedal powered vessel across the river avoiding the water below!

Entrants are encouraged to build their own pedal powered bike/boat, take to the River Medina and race against the other contestants! 2005 saw approx 5 entries from across the country with machines of all shapes, sizes and abilities!
