Atlantic Challenge International is made up of crews from all over the world. Despite being a relitively small organisation when you consider the corners these crew come from it is really quite remarkable. The crews recuit their contest crews in different ways due to the popularity in each country. Inbetween the International Contests each country runs the gigs in different ways. Some use it for weekly training, some for adventures from point A to B that takes several days, some use them for childrens programmes including more recently welcoming children with special needs. However the use of the gig the aim is always the same, teaching through the median of the sea.
